Any help is much appreciated.

The problem then is that you somehow lost the 'association for
folders'. try doing a Google on;

     explorer folder association and see if that gives you the
registry script you need. I will check and see if I save a copy
and if I did will post it later today.

Amazing! I lost this thread after giving up on anyone having a
solution to this over a month ago... But this simple google search led
me to this url:
http://ask.metafilter.com/30704/How-to-set-up-program-association-for-opening-folders

The solution involving invoking regsvr32 is what did it for me. Thank
you so much for ending years of anguished inconvenience! I am going to
Paypal you my 10 bucks - money well spent! Apologies to whomever finds
this exchange of knowledge for money on usenet crass.

Hi J Y,

Quite often people will say 'do a Google search' or 'Google is your
friend'. After doing a google search and getting 10,000 hits, their
response becomes annoying. Google is your friend IF you know the search
phrase to use. When people suggest Google, when possible it would be
nice if they gave a 'suggested' search phrase.

It would also be nice if that person went to the OP's house and typed
it in too.

And clicked the OP's mouse too.


Because of the way most search engine bots file web pages, it is very
easy to get hits that the 'average' user may find extraneous (<LOL>).
Its like a friend said to me telling someone to use a dictionary to
find the spelling of a word can be frustrating when your word starts
with the sound of a letter 'f' put the spelling begins with a 'ph'.
