Hidden egistery files and shortcuts

In Microsoft Press' Windows Vista Inside Out chapter 7 (Finding and
Organizing Files and Information), Figure 7-12 shows a User Folder (Craig)
highlighted in the navigation pane of Windows Explorer as well as hidden
registry files and shortcuts such as NTUSER.DAT, NetHood, PrintHood, SendTo,
etc.

When I try to see the contents of a User folder (Owner in my case) logged on
as administrator with "Show hidden folders" checked, I can only see the
AppData folder and two ntuser.log files.

How can I see the hidden registry files and shortcuts as shown in the manual?

Thanks.
