How to unlock the Ribbon UI in Windows 8 build 7850

So there have been a lot more pictures revealed of the ribbon in Windows 8.

This hidden Ribbon Explorer UI, which was first found in Millstone 3 build, can now be enabled in the recently leaked Windows 8 7850 build with a simple registry tweak.

To unlock the Ribbon UI, you have to first create a key in registry file- HKEY_CLASS_ROOT\CLSID\{4F12FF5D-D319-4A79-8380-9CC80384DC08} then create a string value in this key called AppID and set its value to {9198DA45-C7D5-4EFF-A726-78FC547DFF53}.
