opening folders

[Guest]

Using WinHome-XP-sp2.

When I double right click certain folders to open I go to Search. If I
single right click and then click Open I go to the opened folder. I have NOT
installed any new programs since this started.

This problem occurs when you alter the "Drive" / "File Folders" entries via
File Types dialog, to add a "Command Prompt here" or "Print Directory"
feature for folders. (example)

Click Start/Run and type this command to fix this problem:
regsvr32 /i shell32.dll

To fix this manually via registry:

If this problem is seen for Drives:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell
Set (default) to "none" (without ")

If this problem is seen for folders:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell]
Set (default) to "none" (without ")
