-or-
Click Start/Run and type:
reg add hkcr\directory\shell /ve /d none /f
-and-
reg add hkcr\drive\shell /ve /d none /f
Alternately, to fix this manually via a registry edit:
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 ")
