Powertoys messed context menu up in Windows Explorer

[Troy Hoopes]

I added the "PowerToys" for Windows XP and one of the
programs has messed up my Windows Explorer context
menus. The program "Open Command Window Here" when first
installed was supposed to engage by holding down a key
and double clicking on a given folder. After a few
times, just double clicking on folders opened the command
prompt window. I uninstalled the program. Now, when I
double click a folder, a SEARCH window is opened. If you
right click on a folder, the Search option is first, and
Open and Explore are down the menu list.

How do I get the context menu back to its proper order?
I am desperate to find a better way than to reinstall
windows again. Thanks,
