Double-click behaviour

[Guest]

This is something odd which has happened on both of my computers recently.
By default when you double-click on a folder in Explorer it will open the new
folder in the same view. However, while this is still the case if I am
browsing a disk drive the default has changed for certain windows, such as
Control Panel and the 'Open All Users' window you get by right-clicking on
the Start button so that it now opens in a new Window. In order to re-use the
same window I now have to right-click on the item and click 'Open' rather
than 'Explore'. It isn't the end of the world, but I do find it irritating
and would love to fix it if anyone knows how.

Hi jgwilliams,

Could you type the following in the command prompt,

reg export "HKCR\Directory" "%userprofile%\desktop\dir.txt"
and
reg export "HKCR\Folder" "%userprofile%\desktop\fold.txt"

Now there should be two files on your desktop called "dir.txt" and
"fold.txt". If you could email those files, then I will see if I can fix
your problem for you. My email is
