Windows Explorer.....Too Many!!!

Ever since my HDD crashed and I got a new one and installed Win XP PRO SP2
back on it, every time I double click on a folder a new window pops up. If I
have a lot of folders to go thru to get where I want to go, I have a whole
desktop full of windows.

I've went to tools/folder options in explorer and it is set to open each
folder in the same window. I went to folder options in control panel and it's
set the same.

Why doesn't windows do what it's told to do?
 
The fix in the following page should help.

Open each folder in the same window:
