Folder Problems

[Chris Carbonell]

I am having much difficulty with a problem that pesters
me like an immortal misquito. For an odd reason, whenever
I double-click on a folder, it goes into a search into
the folder I wish to explore. To get around this, I
simply right-click and choose to explore it, but this
often gets very annoying. This is the reason for my plea,
anyone with any words of wisdom, please reply.

Hi Chris,

We have mosquitoes here too, in Louisiana. (

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.
