okmatthew <okmatthew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
When I left click on a folder I get the 'find' (search) command in that
directory. Right click has the normal options with 'search' on the top.
While trying to fix this I went to:
FOLDER OPTIONS, FILE TYPES.
When I look at the list there are 2 different entries for Folder. When I
edit the fille type in the first one titled 'File Folder' it only has
'find' listed the second one titled 'File' has the normal mouse click
options, 'open', 'explore', etc...

I cannot edit the 1st or 2nd one nor can I delete them. (Yes I have
administrator priveledges)

Some where I should be able to edit this list. Does anyone know how, like
maybe there is a utility such as msconfig or some other way to edit this
list??

Thank you,

Please Don''t find all & say I can''t post in many forums. The Advanced
Options provides for this! When you do, others won’t look at the
problem. U & I have better things to do.
