SERIOUS HELP NEEDED!!! explorer.exe

[I Need Help]

Folder Options - File Types - 'File Folder' - Advanced

I changed the File Folder icon and then got into a serious
problem - whenever i opened a folder by doubleclicking on
it - it started the 'Search' thing, now i tried to fix it
by adding 'Open' and 'Explore' next to 'Find' and selected
the program to use those commands to 'explorer.exe'. But
now whenever i open a file folder by doubleclicking on it -
it opens it in a new explorer window. I can't modify or
delete those commands.

1. What are the possibilities of solving this problem?
2. Deleting all 'explorer.exe' files (3) and repairing windows?
3. Or is there a way to 'default' the settings of explorer.exe?

This might help. Open Explore and click on "Tools"
and "Folder Options". Select "Double Click to Open
Items". Then click on the "View" Tab. Click on "Apply
to All Folders" and "Apply"
