Opening folder

[Guest]

I m using Windows XP home edition. I can't open the folder by double
clicking. when I double clike folder, it opens new window with search option.
If I right-click the folder, then there is 'search' option on the top row and
then 'open' in second and 'explorer' and so on.
I couldn't make it by Tools->Folder option-> and making default.
How can I make the folder to open by double clicking? Plz anybody !

This problem occurs when you alter the "Drive" / "File Folders" entries via
File Types dialog, to add a "Command Prompt here" or "Print Directory"
feature for folders. (example)

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=321186

Resolution:

Click Start/Run and type this command to fix this problem:
(Tip from David Candy)

regsvr32 /i shell32.dll

-or-

To fix this manually via registry:

If this problem is seen for Drives:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell
Set (default) to "none" (without ")

If this problem is seen for folders:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell]
Set (default) to "none" (without ")
