default action on folder click

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

XP Home Ver. 2002 SP2

OPEN is no longer the default action when clicking on a folder. I have to
right click the folder and choose OPEN from the list. How can I make OPEN the
default action again?

Background: I added an action for the File Folder file type that prints out
a listing of the folder. The action at the top of the list of File Folder
actions became the new default. I did not select Set Default. There is no
Open action in that list. I would like to keep the new Print Listing action
but want Open to be the default again.
