Clicking drive shortcut opens COMMAND window

This is something I've never seen before -- or heard of. Whenever I
double-click on a shortcut (i.e. drive K:\), it opens a COMMAND window at
that location. This happens whether from a Desktop shortcut or from Explorer.
In addition, if I double tap a folder icon in Explorer, it ALSO opens up a
COMMAND prompt.

The only thing I can think of is I loaded the "CmdHerePowertoySetup.exe"
tweak from Kelly's Korner. But I've been running this tweak for months with
no problems.

Any idea where the reg entry is to fix -- or a counter tweak? I've unloaded
the above tweak, rebooted, but the problem still exsts.

Signed,

Confused (BIG TIME!)

Try this.

Click Start | Run and type or copy/paste this command:
regsvr32 /i shell32.dll
Click OK
 
GREAT! Thanx. That did it. But now I want to know why? I tried running System
Restore (which would not restore). So then I reloaded a backup of my registry
-- and STILL the problem persisted.

What could have caused the registry entry for shell32.dll to be changed? The
only things I've done today are 1. install that commandhere tweak and 2. run
the Kelly Korner autorun fix.

Thank you!

But now I'm wondering what happened. All I loaded today was the
'commandhere' toy and then run the 'autorunfix' vbs from Kelly's Korner. What
could have overwritten the shell32 reg entry??
