problem: dbl clicking windows explorer folder opens new folder

[Rickyroma]

Hi all. Here is the problem with windows explorer XP Pro(I have all the
latest updates):
when I do _not_ have my LHS pane showing file folders, double clicking a
folder in the RHS pane opens the folder in the same explorer window. That is
normal and good. But when I _do_ have my folders visible in the LHS pane,
double clicking a folder in the RHS pane opens that folder in a _new_
explorer window. Please help correct this annoying problem.

Here's what I already tried/verified:
1. Folder options is set to open each folder in the same window
2. my reg key: "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Shell\Default" is set to "none"

Thanks!!!
