defualt folder command has become search!

[Guest]

I double click on a file folder and it opens up a window to search the
contents of the folder, I have to right click and select open to open
folders, help! I checked folder options to set open as the defualt comand on
file folders, but the only commands listed were scan with norton antivirus
and find!

Additional Info:

This problem occurs when you alter the "Drive" / "File Folders" entries via File Types dialog, to add a "Command Prompt here" or "Print Directory" feature for folders. (example)

Set (default) to "none" (without ")
