Hey dude, thats quite a kool tutorial u got there. But, one thing i wanna chip in is this, why would someone wanna disable hidden files n folders in his PC? Personally, I wouldnt wanna do that 'cos I know that I wouldbe jeopardizing my provacy. Apart from that, I hope that aint got anything to do with disabling the HIDE PROTECTED OPERATING SYSTEM FILES (RECOMMENDED). That aint gonna be too kool should anyone try that.

Might be worthwhile to do this on a computer that you share with someone else, though. Keeps the little sister out of your stuff...

Other than that, I can't see the reason for removing the option to hide or not... Great & Simple tutorial though!

If your not an advanced windows user i suggest you stay away from windows registry! Because if you edit a file without mistake you can corrupt your system meaning you will have to install windows over again.

Why do you have to even do the registry part? Can't you just simply do the folder part?

This seems very handy as users which have hidden files enabled or disabled will both stay that way.
