Hehehehe.. It's piss easy. First, stop explorer.exe, then terminate 
all dllhost processes. Make sure you leave yourself a console prompt 
and have sysinternals regdelnull utility. :)

Remove the registry keys that you can with regedit, finish up by 
running the utility I mentioned above on ALL the system hives.

Restart the computer. confirm the new registry entries aren't being 
written; if they are, you didn't follow my directions, re-read and 
redo. They are fixed location entries.
