From the OC link its basically Control panel listed in another way. Its really a pointless tweak unless you cant find the control panel and you dont know the names of the items you want or need to use.

*sigh* It is NOT pointless. It lists EVERY configurable action for the computer in A SINGLE PAGE. Meaning; you don't have to trawl through innumerable options and tabs and pages in order to find something.

If you don't like it; fine, don't use it. But don't slam it just because you think it's pointless when it's patently NOT.

My search function does it and doesnt take up space on the desktop.

Alright. Let's just leave it now. Some people will find it useful, some people prefer to go other ways. Let's just not get into some flaming war in a topic that shouldn't. Each has a preference.

I don't get it.

Shouldn't this be there as standard? - not as a hack?

It is all there, but everything is grouped now. You have categories, which you must navigate to find sub-sections. This just lists absolutely everything in one page (and regardless of what others may say, you CANNOT just "list view" and get the same functionality)

One is grouped into categories; the other is cluttered mess. There is a search function in the control panel for a reason - you need something, use it. This huge thing is useless, even if only for the mere time it would take to go through all these options.

Meh. That's right, that's what I said; MEH!
