In your registry editor, don't delete the folder "4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318" instead delete the upper and lower filters. In your picture you posted of registry editor, you can see the upper and lower filters on the right side. So, just delete those and then restart your computer and your drives should reappear under My Computer.
