windows explorer opening in new windows

Anyone nows the key in the register where I can set the opening of explore
windows in the same window?

Although my folder options states to open each map in the same window, when
clicking on a folder in explorer it opens in a new window?.

Click to expand...

Shortcuts usually open in a separate window. Are you clicking on shortcuts or
actual folders? Also do you have admin privileges to edit registry settings?

Could you export the following key and then paste the contents here.

Go to the command prompt and type"

REG EXPORT "HKCR\Folder" "%userprofile%"\desktop\Folder.reg"

Now the Folder.reg file should be on your desktop. Right-click the Folder.reg file and select edit, then copy the contents and paste it into this post.

Could you first explain what that registry change does?
I am abit reluctant to just fiddle with it when I don't understand what I am
doing.

I had the same problem.
The solution I was given was:
START/RUN, Type regsvr32 /i shell32.dll
OK

This worked for me immediately, but I have no idea why !!

Did that be no change.
I have another PC with winxp and when I click on a folder in the left hand
pane that folder is opened in that same left hand pane.

The problem PC still opens the left hand pane clicked folder in a new
window.
Help?

Anyone nows the key in the register where I can set the opening of
explore windows in the same window?

Although my folder options states to open each map in the same window,
when clicking on a folder in explorer it opens in a new window?.

Type the following in the run dialog box (start>run):

cmd /k REG DELETE "HKCR\Folder\shell" /va

Could you export the following key and then paste the contents here.

Go to the command prompt and type"

REG EXPORT "HKCR\Folder" "%userprofile%"\desktop\Folder.reg"

Now the Folder.reg file should be on your desktop. Right-click the
Folder.reg file and select edit, then copy the contents and paste it into
this post.

I see nothing wrong with this, could you type the following in the
command prompt.

REG ADD "HKCR\Directory\Shell" /ve /d none

Could you first explain what that registry change does?
I am abit reluctant to just fiddle with it when I don't understand what I am
doing.
