As I said in your other tutorial, be careful in regedit. If you don't know what you are doing, fdon't use regedit. There is a huge chance you could damage your computer badly.

regedit is not just for changing the speed of internet explorer....
In regedit you can do things to your computer which are irreversable.

Actually Internet Explorer is embedded in alot of Windows applications, so if you screw it up it could be pretty detrimental (eg: these applications could cease to function properly).

yes.
Open any folder (doesn't matter) and go to:
Tools>>Folder Options...
Once there, click:
View
Scroll down the Advanced settings menu and find the one labeled:
Hidden Files and Folders
now check the one called:
Show Hidden Files and Folders
Click:
Apply
And you should be done
