By creating folders with CLSID names (like the God-Mode folder) you can get a single toolbar that opens from one place into every place. Create one folder called "GOD" and then create folders in it with these names (or as many of them as you have any use for):
Start.{7be9d83c-a729-4d97-b5a7-1b7313c39e0a}
for the "Programs Folder" which is like a Start Menu
Recent.{22877a6d-37a1-461a-91b0-dbda5aaebc99}
for the "Recent Places" Folder
Libraries.{031e4825-7b94-4dc3-b131-e946b44c8dd5}
for the Libraries Folder
Favorites.{323ca680-c24d-4099-b94d-446dd2d7249e}
for the Favorites Folder
Recycle.{645ff040-5081-101b-9f08-00aa002f954e}
for the Recycle Bin
Computer.{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
for the My Computer folder
Tasks.{ed7ba470-8e54-465e-825c-99712043e01c}
for the God-Mode "All Tasks" view
Settings.{f90c627b-7280-45db-bc26-cce7bdd620a4}
for the God-Mode "All Settings" view
ProgAndFeat.{7b81be6a-ce2b-4676-a29e-eb907a5126c5}
for the "Programs and Features" view
User.{59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}
for your User Folder
Applications.{4234d49b-0245-4df3-b780-3893943456e1}
for the "Applications" Folder, the "all apps in one list" view
Then create a toolbar from the "GOD" folder and close it all the way, so it's just an arrow on the Taskbar with no icons showing. When you click the arrow you'll get a vertical menu of the above items, and each one will cascade through all the subfolders in it. But the icons in the toolbar must be hidden in order to work this way. If an icon is visible on the Taskbar, it will not open a cascading menu but will just open one folder instead.
This only works with the special kind of folder shortcuts created by a CLSID name, as above. If it's just a regular shortcut to a folder, it won't cascade to a menu of the folder's contents. And even with a CLSID, there are certain cases that don't work. But many do, including those listed above.
