Problems with opening folders

[Dan Maharry]

Hi,

I was tryign to change the default icon for file folders in Windows
Explorer's folder options|file types dialog box and msut have done something
by accident. I found entries for file folder and folder. I couldn't change
the icon for folder, but I could and did for file folder. However, this
seems to have changed how things work with folders in general. For starters,
the new icon doesn't actually appear in explorer, but more annoyingly, every
folder I now double click to open, opens in a new window rather than the
same one. It's not the 'Launch Folder Windows In A Separate Process' view
option in Explorer, so I think I must have done something else to the File
Folder options but I don't know what. In the Advanced dialog box, there are
three options in the actions box - find, open and Open Command Window Here,
with open set as default. I can't edit the open action, so I assume I would
have to delete and reset it, but have no idea how. Any ideas?

Hi kelly,

Thansk for the tips but its still not behaving as I'd expect. If I double
click on a folder in the right hand side pane of Windows Explorer, the
folder always opens in a new instance of Explorer rather than in the same
window as if I'd selected explore rather than open. Have you got a reghack
to remove this annoying default as well? Nice site by the way.
