I changed the icon for the File Type "File Folder" in Control Panel. This
changed the Actions that the file type takes. Now when I go into Explorer
and try to view the contents of folders it will not show them. For some
reason I can not remove any of the Actions. Does anyone know what the
default Actions should be for File Folder?

Which action do you want to remove? You can remove them here, in the
registry directly:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ Directory \ shell
