How to insert webparts in Default SharePoint pages

Many times new requirements come in SharePoint projects where users want little customization in the default pages like Newform.aspx, Allitems.aspx.
These requirements are generally very easy to make on a custom page and thats why developers end up creating new pages.

However, such requirements can often be easily implemented by just inserting a Content editor webpart in these pages. It may be possible that you are not getting edit page option on the page. This trick will help to edit such pages.

Add "?toolpaneview=2" at the end of the page URL. So if your page URL is http://sharepointsite/sites/site1/lists/list1/newform.aspx so change the URL to http://sharepointsite/sites/site1/lists/list1/newform.aspx?toolpaneview=2.

Now you will get the page in the edit mode. Add whatever you want to and save the page.

This trick is helpful in almost all the pages in all the versions of SharePoint i.e. 2003,2007 and 2010.
