I broke the default command for Folders...



Some program I installed apparently changed the default context
command for folders in the Windows Explorer, and when I tried to
reverse this change, I found myself trapped with a really annoying
glitch:

Now, whenever I'm browsing a directory tree in the Windows Explorer,
entering a directory causes a new window to open, even though the
settings are configured so that each folder should open in the same
window. At least this is somewhat better than having the default
command for a folder be "find", causing me to open a search window
whenever I click on a folder.

What is worst is that I can't seem to delete or modify these commands
from the Folder Settings in explorer. I found the place where they're
stored in the registry, but I don't know enough to restore the
original settings.

Can someone tell me what I should do so that "open" is the default
command for a folder, and that it causes the Windows Explorer to open
the folder in the same window? I'd presume that I need to set it to
execute explorer.exe with some kind of command line argument, but I
have no idea what it is...
