Nevermind, I found the solution here:
http://en.allexperts.com/q/Windows-X...ile-folder.htm
"Click Start and select the Run option. Type "regedit" and hit enter. As
with any Registry edits, you should backup your Registry before starting
(File->Export->All or File->Export->Selected Branch "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT").
Find and select the key "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell". On the right
hand side of the window you will see a value named "(Default)"; double-click
on this value. Set the value to "none". Once you make this change, your
folders should instantly be back to normal."
