28. Force XP to unload DLL files after closing a program

Hello!
I would like to implement this tweak but I need someone to explain:

To do this, first run REGEDIT.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer.
Create a new key named 'AlwaysUnloadDLL' and set the default value to equal '1.'

I would greatly appreciate any help as how to go about and "set the default value to equal '1' ".
Thanks in advance!

its like this...

click start
click run
type in "regedit" (without the quotations) and click ok

Now you are at the Registry Editor (should make a back up first..
click file
click export
make up a name
click save

Then on the left side of the Registry Editor click to the following spot
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SOFTWARE
Microsoft
Windows
CurrentVersion
Explorer

Then right click on Explorer
click New
click key

Name the new key (a folder icon on left side under Explorer) as "AlwaysUnloadDLL"

Now click AlwaysUnloadDLL

On the right side you will see default, double click it
type "1" in the value data field
click ok

PS. If you notice any problems simply go to the Registry Editor again and import the one that you backed up before by clickin File -> Import
