Can be changed in registry, though.
I always wanted to see system files but if i enabled it, i would see desktop.ini in the desktop and it would irritate me
Temporarily. The only reason I can think of to remove the UI is that they intend to also remove the feature it controls, and just haven't done it yet.
A lot of things are only available through the registry.
What I despise about regedit is you have to know what magical keys exist to change functionality, of it doesn't exist already. Unless I'm missing something. Or there's documentation.
There really isn't any documentation for all of it because it's essentially just a variable storage. So any program can add things to the registry in anyway they want. I'm sure with windows specific ones there are some docs around them.
