Might be worthwhile to do this on a computer that you share with someone else, though.

haha yeah, that seems to be the use for this one, disabling for shared computers. Other than that, I can't see the reason for removing the option to hide or not...
Great & Simple tutorial though!

How to disable "Show hidden files and folders" in Folder Option

As you know, you can hide files or folders in Microsoft Windows ( to hide a file or folder , right click on file or folder >select properties and then select Hide file)
But if you open Folder Option and check "Show hidden files and folders " you can see hidden files.
to disable "Show hidden files and folders" feature follow below steps :
1- Click start > Run > type regedit to run Windows Registry Editor.
2- Go to following address: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Explorer/Advanced/Folder/Hidden/SHOWALL
3- In the right panel double click on "CheckedValue" and change value from 1 to 0. Click ok and then exit Windows Registry Editor and restart your computer.
4- Now open Folder Option ( My Computer > View menu > Folder Options)
5- Go to the View tab, in "Hidden files and folders" section, check "Show hidden files and folders" and then close Folder Option. In future you won't see " Show hidden files and folders" in Folder Option.

Note: incorrectly editing registry may damage your system. Please create a back up first

8. Windows Ntfs Folder And File Compression. Good Or Bad?

   (6)

   I believe everyone in this forum knows what a file system means and that every windows user knows
   what FAT and NTFS means so I am not gonna start going into those. Well, the NTFS (Windows NT file
   system) offers a few advantages over the good ol' FAT (File allocation table) file system one of
   which is the files and folders compression. This I have done quite a number of times to save disc
   space (and it really does save some disc space). i am using my computer as an example here. Consider

11. Trouble Deleting Files In Xp?

    Solution to the problem (0)

    I recently downloaded a program that didn't work. I got an error on installing it. So I tried to
    delete it and I couldn't. I kept getting a message about it being in use by another program. So
    I checked what was running, and it wasn't listed anywhere in the Task Manager. Next I did a
