I think you want the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\
UserPreferencesMask=
(a REG_BINARY value)
Not documented AFAIK, but here (W2K) I can offer two values
BE 08 00 80 (Hide disabled)
and
9E 08 00 80 (Hide enabled)
Which may help. I doubt you will see a change without a logoff/logon
or some method to force explorer shell to re-read the value.
I find Regmon.exe ( http://www.sysinternals.com (free))
to be useful in tracking changes.
