In Windows 7 it is possible to create new shortcuts to shell objects, eg:
explorer.exe Shell:::{F90C627B-7280-45DB-BC26-CCE7BDD620A4}
But when I do this with Windows 8 it tells me:
--------------------------------------
explorer.exe
This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default programs control panel.
---------------------------------------
Is there anyway to make shortcuts to shell objects in Windows 8.1? Thanks.

Re: Creating Shortcuts using Shell
That one doesn't work for me in Windows 10 either, but others do. For example
explorer.exe shell:::{26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}
(Opens Control Panel in category view)
or
explorer.exe shell:::{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
("Godmode")
explorer.exe shell:::{26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}
(Opens Control Panel in category view)
or
explorer.exe shell:::{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
("Godmode")
Best wishes,

Thanks Hans, GodMode works - trust me to experiment with a shell shortcut that doesn't work!
