XP File problem

[John Bannon]

I recently created a small batch file that enabled me to
print directories when in Windows Explorer. However two
problems have arisen apparently because of the batch file
(a) When clicking on folder which normally opens that
folder one is presented with the "search" screen and (b)
there seems to be no way to remove the batch file from
wherever it has gone in the registry.

Can anyone tell me how to remove the batch file? - I have
searched the registry and used a good registry healer
having removed the batch file from the System file but
still the two problems endure.

Cheers

Your batch file did not cause the problem. The dialog you used to add to the
menu did, it's a bug in the dialog. Put your batch file back and set it all
up again. Then to repair the bug type in Start Run

regsvr32 /i shell32

Not sure that you completed all the steps. Check out:

in particular, the part at the bottom on editing the Registry to avoid the
problem you are having.
