I just tried setting this to 2 and my Q6600 Quad instantly became a Dual Core according to Vista.
The TaskManager only shows two cores as well.
Usually when Number of processors is unchecked, the operating system defaults to using all available processors.
Maybe if you set your OS to 4 darkzone, all programs might be able to see all 4 cores.
Edit: I noticed that when Core Temp only sees two cores it thinks I must have swapped my Q6600 for an E6600.
