A social life ....... well draw your own conclusions when reading this post but the excuse is at the end of this post.

Of course nothing goes wrong during your development and deployment. But what if for some unforeseen reason a little mistake is made and because of that only the default.aspx is screwed up, you might still want to access the other useful administration pages of your site.

Or perhaps you might want to have some shortcuts to commonly used administration pages, this post might help you. 

Fortunately there are not so many pages so therefor I will update this list bit by bit, bare with me and please feel free to help me out here.

For now I am only listing the pages that are directly accessible from your site collection and don't require a querystring. It's an oldie and kind of retro but back in his handsome younger days my mate Daniel posted an item about querystrngs.

1. AclInv.aspx = add users
2. AddNavigationLinkDialog.aspx = Edit the title, URL, and description of the navigation item.
3. addrole.aspx = Add a Permission Level
4. AdminRecycleBin.aspx = Site Collection Recycle Bin

10. AssetPortalBrowser.aspx =
11. associatedgroups.aspx = Edit Group Quick Launch
12. AuditSettings.aspx = Configure Audit Settings
13. avreport.aspx = ow really :))
14. bpcf.aspx = New Basic Page
15. ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx = Site Master Page Settings
16. ContentTypeHierarchy.aspx = Content Types Hierarchy
17. create.aspx = create overview lists, sites and pages
18. CreatePage.aspx = Create Page
