I've asked Microsoft for more details on the feature and how it came to be. But so far, Redmond is silent on the topic. Looks some programmer made a huge backdoor; and didn't document his work. Now, is this an exploit that anyone can use - or is already in use? As a rule, "undocumented features" are never a good thing.

As a rule, "undocumented features" are never a good thing. It's just a collection of the various control and configuration programs into one folder. There's nothing in there that wasn't there before, it's just been collected into one folder for you.

It’s not an exploit or back door, all it does is let you get to all the control panel stuff in one place, instead of it’s default scatter. From what they’re saying nothing that appears in that folder is stuff you can’t get to elsewhere.
