Double-click on a folder opens command prompt ---want to just open folder

[Josh]

Windows XP default double-click is set to open the
command prompt. Try to change it to open the folder in a
new window from the Tools, Folder Options, File Types,
Advanced for File Folder, but it asks for an "application
used to perform action". What application and path do I
use to just open a folder instead of opening the command
prompt?

Hi Josh,

Go to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 /i shell32

If that doesn't correct the issue (and it should) use this automated edit:

Search or CMD Opens When Double Clicking a Folder or Drive (Line 18)

To use the VBS File: Download .vbs file and save it to your hard drive (you
may want to right click and use Save Target As). Double-click the vbs file.
You will be prompted when the script is done.
