Embedded Folder Options

[Guest]

When I left click on a folder I get the 'find' (search) command in that
directory. Right click has the normal options with 'search' on the top.
While trying to fix this I went to:
FOLDER OPTIONS, FILE TYPES.
When I look at the list there are 2 different entries for Folder. When I
edit the fille type in the first one titled 'File Folder' it only has 'find'
listed the second one titled 'File' has the normal mouse click options,
'open', 'explore', etc...

I cannot edit the 1st or 2nd one nor can I delete them. (Yes I have
administrator priveledges)

Some where I should be able to edit this list. Does anyone know how, like
maybe there is a utility such as msconfig or some other way to edit this
list??

Thank you,

Post in one that you can remember its name, so you can find your way back to
see if there are any replies.

Thanks that worked. Is there an article or a fix somewhere that will put
'open with' back in as an option?

Thanks,

Matthew

I do not know which one or if both are needed.

220. Restore Open With on the Right Click

openwithrestore.reg is the file.

241. Right hand side
Restore Choose Program - Open With

chooseprogramrestore.reg is the file.
