.REG files can not only add and modify but also delete keys and values from the Windows registry.

To delete a registry key

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Test]

To delete a registry value

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Test
"TestValue"=-

My header area is not showing when creating a new Word Document

... and even resetting the normal.dot won't help you there.

But it's soo simple. A double click between the border between your document and the rulers will display them. Read the full story here.

Possible Workarounds:

  • Uninstall Dell Media Experience
    (seems to be cause for the most of the links above, but I handn't installed it)
  • Use MSCONFIG to disable the services of your video and audio drivers.
    (this solved it in my case on a Dell XPS M1330 64-bit)
  • Add this small tool to your autostart programs

HTH!
