Embedded Folder Options

When I left click on a folder I get the 'find' (search) command in that
directory. Right click has the normal options with 'search' on the top.
While trying to fix this I went to:
FOLDER OPTIONS, FILE TYPES.
When I look at the list there are 2 different entries for Folder. When I
edit the fille type in the first one titled 'File Folder' it only has 'find'
listed the second one titled 'File' has the normal mouse click options,
'open', 'explore', etc...

I cannot edit the 1st or 2nd one nor can I delete them. (Yes I have
administrator priveledges)

Some where I should be able to edit this list. Does anyone know how, like
maybe there is a utility such as msconfig or some other way to edit this
list??

Thank you,

Thank you Wesley. It only took a month for you to come up with the right
answer. In the future why don't you just post your answer once and don't
bother to track down all my different posts. Once is enough. Now I'll re-edit
my signature file.

WTF are you talking about. I had the right answer all the time. You had to
ask the question first.

I posted the answer 1 hour and 28 minutes after you posted the question.
