1. Try this:

 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\SuperHidden]
 "Type"="checkbox"
 "Text"="@shell32.dll,-30508"
 "WarningIfNotDefault"="@shell32.dll,-28964"
 "HKeyRoot"=dword:80000001
 "RegPath"="Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Advanced"
 "ValueName"="ShowSuperHidden"
 "CheckedValue"=dword:00000000
 "UncheckedValue"=dword:00000001
 "DefaultValue"=dword:00000001
 "HelpID"="shell.hlp#51103"

No this is also not working.

It would probably be easier to create a profile, save the ntuser.dat, and copy this to your default user profile and the admin profile (and anywhere else you want it) than muck with this reg setting. I've never seen it work properly, but the profile .dat always works.

I use Regshot found at http://regshot.blog.googlepages.com/
to find registry settings.
My computer is set to show file extentions, show system files and
to show hidden files.
The reg keys for this are

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Hidden: 0x00000001
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\HideFileExt: 0x00000000
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\ShowSuperHidden: 0x00000001
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Settings: 08 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 77 7E 13 73 35 CF 11 AE 69 08 00 2B 2E 12 62 04 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 43 00 00 00

This is the output from regshot (I've removed some ;ines that didn't apply)
But notice the streans\settings which is a long reg_binary value, that
effects more than just these settings. so you can do what cluberti
suggested and/or use regshot to find the reg keys that effect your desired settings.

You also have to have barricedfolders set to 0. regshot didn't pick it up
because I had changed it earlier

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\WebView\BarricadedFolders]
"shell:ControlPanelFolder"=dword:00000000
"shell:SystemDriveRootFolder"=dword:00000000
"shell:ProgramFiles"=dword:00000000
"shell:Windows"=dword:00000000
"shell:System"=dword:00000000

As for your second question I hear
[HKEYT_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard]
"InitialKeyboardIndicators"="2"
works in addition to you setting

Just a quick question about this cluberti. What kind of settings are saved in the ntuser.dat file? I like this idea, and understand the concept, but the data within is unintelligable to me, so I'm not sure what it controls.

ntuser.dat IS the user's HKCU hive. If you open regedit, select the root HKLM key, and select File > Load Hive and choose an ntuser.dat file, you'll see that registry in folder form. Anything in HKCU for the user is stored in here, everything.
