Teredo tunneling pseudo device

I accidently deleted this device and have tried to get it back.
I tried:
A system restore which didn't do it then:

1. Open command prompt with administrator credentials (Find CMD and
right-click - Run as Administrator).
2. Enter netsh environment. Type "netsh" and ENTER.
3. "int teredo" and ENTER
4. "set state disabled" and ENTER.

6. Open command prompt with administrator credentials once again.
7. netsh + ENTER.
8. "int ipv6" + ENTER
9. "set teredo client" + ENTER
10. Open Device Manager and Scan for new hardware.

which didn't do it and I tried

1. Temporarily disable Firewall and third party antivirus program on the
computer for a test.
2. To verify relevant services..
a. Click "Start", type "services.msc" (without quotation marks) in Search
Bar and press Enter.

Note: If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation,
type your password, or click Continue.

b. Scroll down and navigate to the following service. Right click the "Peer
Networking Grouping" service and choose Properties.
c. Please check if the service is started; if not, click the Start button
and see if it works.
d. You may also choose Automatic next to Startup type.
e. Click OK.
f. Please repeat the above steps with another service: PNRP Machine Name
Publication Service.
3. Modify IPv6 registry key to enable IPV6
==========================
a. Click Start, type regedit in Search Bar, and then click regedit in the
Programs list.

Note: If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation,
type your password or click Continue.

b. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\servic es\TCPIP6\Parameters
c. Check whether the "DisabledComponents" registry key exists. If so, let's
move on the next steps.
d. Double click the "DisabledComponents" registry key and modify the value
to 0.
(If the key doesn't exist, please create the key named "DisabledComponents"
without the quotes, above and assign the value 0)
e. Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.

In this case, after modifying the registry and restarting the system, the
registry reverted back to the original state (DisabledComponents started as
"ff", I modified it to "0" and after checking it after the restart it was
"ff" again..)

Can someone suggest something to get the darned device back ( other than a
system repair)
thanks

Maybe Gogo6?

It really depends very much on your system setup.
If you are in one of the rare cases where your ISP provides you with a
NATIVE IPv6, then Teredo will "turn itself off" automatically because it is
no longer needed.
So first check to see if your "real" network adapter has a proper IPv6
address.
If you have some tunnel broker like GOGO6 client, then it is also better to
leave Teredo disabled as again, it will not be needed.
Teredo only makes sense if you have no other way for IPv6 access.

I'm actually trying to use homegroups between my wireless laptop and my
connected desktop for sharing files, printer etc.. and I think I need ipv6
for that.. I have FIOS but I don't think that has anything to do with my
networking the laptop to the desktop.

thanks
