How to inactivate Microsoft Windows' Hidden Files feature

Hide your hidden files
As you know when you set a file as hidden, others can mark "show all files" and access to your hidden files. I want to reveal you how you can inactivate this choice and feel secure.
It is not difficult. Follow this direction:
Start/ Run/ Regedit/ OK
Press F3. Type "showall" and click "find next". Notice "keys" must be active at the bottom. Now double click on "checkedvalue" on the right panel and replace 1 with 0.
Now go to: my computer/ tools/ folder option/ view
Mark "don't show hidden files and folders"
You are finished. Whenever you wanted to see your hidden files you won't be able to unless to replace 0 with 1 again.
