FileFolder options

[Martin Glodde]

Hi,
I tried to install Prin.bat just as described here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272623.
That worked fine. Then, I wanted to keep the text file open and don't
print, so that I can save the listing in a different name. For this, I
simply removed the "/p" in the line beginning with "start".
Since then, I cannot open the folder anymore, but instead a command
prompt opens. I checked again under Tools -> Folder Options ->
FileFolder -> Advanced. I have an option "Open Command Window Here" that
wasn't there before and that is set as Default, but I can't remove or
edit it.
What I did then was to add "open" to the list and selected explorer.exe
as program that should be executed, then selected this as default. Since
then, the folder open again, but they always open in a new window, no
matter what I choose in the "General" tab.

I also tried to go through System Restore, but I always get the message
that it's incomplete, and nothing changed.

How can I restore the original settings for FileFolder, so that they
open in the same window with the explorer?

Thanks,
Martin

To restore folder defaults copy and paste ALL the following (including the
regedit4) into a text file and save or rename it with a .REG extension.
Double click on this reg file to restore the "Explore" option for folders in
Windows explorer.
