Here you can find a list of single SystemFolders, but all of them are included in the GodMode folder..

I have to admit, I got a kick out of the whole GodMode thing back when. Those "magical" folders are otherwise known to developers by their more mundane name: shell namespace junctions. You can do the same kind of thing by just creating a folder with a desktop.ini file that specifies the same namespace UUID. This general feature has been around since Windows 95. The only thing this GodMode folder does is show the control panel in its "All Tasks" view.

That said, if you're interested in this stuff from a programming perspective, there's some good articles on MSDN about shell namespaces and how to write extensions for them:
