Wasn't sure where to put this but here goes.....

I need to create a reg file that will do this
1. Log on to the computer by using an account that has administrative credentials.
2. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
3. Locate and then right-click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Cached
4. Point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
5. For Microsoft Windows XP-based or Microsoft Windows Server 2003-based computers, type the following:
{A4DF5659-0801-4A60-9607-1C48695EFDA9} {000214E6-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} 0x401 6. Right-click the value that you just created, and then set the Value data to 1.
7. Exit Registry Editor.
8. Use Task Manager to close the Verclsid.exe program or to restart the computer.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Cached]

"Dword 1"=dword{A4DF5659-0801-4A60-9607-1C48695EFDA9} {000214E6-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} 0x401

will this properly add that new dword value to the registry key the way its supposed as specified in the quote from the article above?

I am hesitant to try it until I get some other opinions as I am new to writing these types of things dealing with the registry.

    Almost but the "dword" needs to be at the end... see below. 
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Cached]
"{750FDF0E-2A26-11D1-A3EA-080036587F03} {000214E8-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} 0x401"=dword:00000001
