Right-click option in Windows Explorer

[Guest]

Somehow my default right-click option in Explorer got shifted from Open to
Search so when I double-click on a file or folder the Search window opens
rather than accessing that file or folder. How do I shift it back?

Thanks in advance.

Hi William,

ShellExView will allow you to Enable or Disable shell extensions.

After installing, right click on Search and disable it, right click on
Open and Enable it.

Or

Start | Run :
reg.exe add "HKCR\Directory\shell" /ve /d "none" /f


Good Luck, Ayush.
