Open Containing Folder in Search for Files and Folders doesn't work

[altbergz]

Hi guys.
As the subject says - I have a problem when clicking on the "Open
Containing Folder" in the right click menu of the "Search Results"
window. Instead of open the folder a window pops up where I have to
choose with which program to open the file/folder. I even could've
managed with that but the checkbox for "Always use the selected
program..." is grayed so it's no use.
I'd really appreciate some help.
Thanks.

This might be what you need.. it reads somewhat like it anyway:

Thanks pal I already I found a fix to my problem -

Click Start, Run and enter "RegEdit". Look for the following:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell

Locate the Default value and double click on Default. Set this value to
"none" (without the quotes)

I took it from here :
