hi people, hope someone can help....
when i double click any folder, it opens with the "explorer" command,
instead of the "open" command.
meaning, my folders now open with the explorer folder tree open on the left
hand side of the folder window, instead of showing the "tasks" panel.
i have tried several fixes i found at the microsoft support pages, ie: i
have went to folder options, the explorer bar, removed the checkmark from
"folders", but when i close the folder and re-open it, it resets back to
opening with the explorer tree again.
i have opened the folder, and went to tools>folder options>view, and have
"applied (these settings) to all folders", and i have "reset all folders" to
try and get them back to default.
i have also noticed that when i open a folder, and close out the explorer
tree, all of my icons on my desktop seem to flash and reset themselves as
well. i dont know if that is connected.
one other thing that i have noticed.
if i right click a folder on my desktop, the top command you see in the pop
up box is "explore", and the second command is "open".
"open" used to be the top command, and "explore" second.
so, i can right click any folder and click on "open" and the folder will
open correctly, just like it is supposed to, with the "tasks" panel on the
left, and my icons for that folder on the right side of the window.
i can think of nothing i have installed, or uninstalled that would have
changed the folder options commands.
very strange.
i appreciate any help, any comments from anyone else who has or has had this
issue.
thanks,
russell
