Re: Problem With Folder

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

Hi Oz,

Go to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 /i shell32

If that doesn't correct the issue use this automated edit:

Search Opens When Double Clicking a Folder or Drive (Line 18)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

To use the VBS File: Download .vbs file and save it to your hard drive (you
may want to right click and use Save
Target As). Double-click the vbs file. You will be prompted when the script
is done.

Manual Edit:

Start/Run/Regedit
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Shell

Set the Default value to "none" without the quotes. To do this, double click
where it says Default.

You may also need to check:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell
The default value for this entry should be "none", as well.

When I click on a folder instead of it opening the folder it opens into a
search window. this is happening with every folder on both my drives. I
can
only access the folders by right clicking and selecting open from the
menu.
Can anyone tell me how to correct the problem please
Any assistance would be most appreciated. Thankyou
