I added the "Print Directory Feature" published in
Q272623 to add this option when I right-click on a folder
in explorer so that I could print a list of my files and
folders. (It said it applied to Win 98, 98 2nd ed., Mill
Ed., but I tried it anyway.) While this worked perfectly
and now lists the "Print Directory Feature" in the
shortcut menu when I riht-click on the folder, the result
is that now when I double-click a folder to open it, as
usual, it runs "find" instead of "open". "Find" is also
listed at the top of the list of options in the short-cut
menu instead of "Open". Open isn't even in the list
found in Tools/Folder Options/Advanced/New. How do I
rearrange this list so that Open is at the top - if that
is where it needs to be to be the action that runs when
the folder is double-clicked. Please help. Thank you.
