There's got to be a reason why the command won't work with Vx64.

This old Neowin tip is what is being refered to as the God Mode ;)

Yeah - 'cause i've used the term "GodMode" 4 my blogpost: http://stadt-bremerhaven.de/windows-7-godmode/ :p

Windows Vista 64 bit has a known bug about file explorer crashing when browsing paths containing a folder with name containing the CLSID... even worse, if the folder is created on the desktop, Vista 64 bit's file explorer will crash at each startup and you would need some other OS to delete the folder!

An alternative way is creating a link to the 'All tasks' folder, the CLSID string will be embedded in the .lnk file so Vista 64 bit's file explorer would not crash and the Godmode trick will be compatible with any Vista/Seven system, like in this little application.

Remarkably, another trick is to call the file explorer passing the CLSID as argument (using any of the methods supported by Windows), so you can have a script, an exe or even a menu entry to popup the 'All tasks' folder, and in any case this will not have problems with the infamous Vista 64 bit's bug since does not involve adding a folder with CLSID string in the name.
