Folder Opening Corrupted.

[Kardon Coupé]

Dear All,

I recenlty wanted to print a directory to a file, a website pointed me to
creating a script, changing Folder Options, etc, etc...

So, ok, the Context menu right click worked, so I went to double click a
folder to go into it.... Hmmmm, why is VLC player trying to play the
contents of the folder, not opening it?

So, a bit of research later, tells me (apparantly) if I go into those
options to look, and cancel not ok it, it can mess around with it...

Anyways, I found Doug Knox's, folder_open.vbs, which I hoped would fix it,
it sort of does, but now when I double click a folder, it opens in a new
window, I don't want that, I wanted it to open up with itself, if that makes
sense..

Can anybody help me

Regards
Paul.

Ok, Very weird....

I've closed Explorer windows over the past 10-15 mins, to the point were
I've closed them all, and re-opened a few, and it seems to be ok now?

I'm guessing it just needed to start from fresh?

Regards
Paul.

Some registry changes don't apply immediately. You may have to logoff and
login back (some require restarting Windows), or restart Explorer.exe via
Task Manager.
