File Folder Default Action

I added a context menu item (right-click) to the file type "File
Folder". Usually when you double-click on a File Folder, it'll open
(explore) within the same window. Somehow the context item I installed
became the default action. The original action somehow got deleted. Is
there a way to reset the default so it will act "right"?
 
AlleyCat,

Type in Start, Run:

regsvr32 /i shell32.dll

Tip from David Candy.

Click to expand...

Ok, got it to where it'll explore upon double-click, but it's opening
it's own window. I've set the "open each folder in the same window" to
on. It still opens it's own window. Thanks.
