Here is something I have been using for over a year under Windows 7 and it also can be set up and works in Windows 8. I did not name this but once you try it you will see the name is fitting. This will allow you to make any changes to the operating system all from one folder and not have to spend time searching through the control panel.
Saves you a lot of time when trying to set up one system the same as another and you forgot how the first setting was set because it was done a year ago.
The Windows 8 link even shows you how to make it a tile.
