I used Windows XP. I added the "print directory" feature
for folders and this changed the order in my
shortcut/contextual menus. Following the instructions in
article 465179 (which I realized later was for Windows
95), I added it to the "Directory" file types and then
made "Open" the default. This has not corrected the
problem and I haven't been able to delete what I just did.

In Windows Explorer, I would like to right click on a
Directory and have "Explore" as the first option
after "Expand".

HELP!
 
I've not heard of expand.

Firstly, type regsvr32 /i shell32 in Start Run which will repair Directory. Then go to Folders rather than Directory and set Explore as the default there. This will apply to all folders and because we repaired Directory, Directory will inherit from Folders.

If your analist tendancies insist on setting the entire order (can't tell I'm a freudian, eh. You know Anna Freud got arrested by the gestapo, 5pm came and she knew if she stayed at Gestapo HQ overnight she would disappear, so she told them she was going home as the workday was over and walked out - Anna and Sigmund escaped to England shortly after. Anna trained the great psychologist Erik Ericsonn after the war) do this in Directory or Folder depending on the exact thing your after. The example here uses html, I just not rewriting it for you.

Arranging the Context menu
The shell key can take more than the default value. For shell statements Windows places Open, Explore, Find,and Print first, then other Shell commands in the order they were added to the registry, then shell extension commands. By listing the commands under the Shell key you can rearrange the order.

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell]
@="open,openinnew"

PS You have to do this in Registry Editor, not the buggy dialog (the dialog caused the issue).
