Try running System Restore to a point in time when things worked
properly.

To resolve this problem, edit the registry to set the value data for the Default string value in the
registry keys that are described in the "Cause" section of this article to none:

1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
2. Locate and then click the Default value under the following keys in the registry if this problem
occurs with folders:
a.. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
b.. If this problem occurs with drives:
c.. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell
3. Click Modify on the Edit menu.
4. Type none in the Value data box, and then click OK.
5. Quit Registry Editor.
