I can't right click on it (like I used to) to Open, Explore, Dos prompt
here, Explore from here, etc. I can only double click on it to bring up
folder view and not tree view (explore or explore from here).

SP2 doesn't exist yet, except in a beta version. Trying to fix a
problem with a beta version is not a good idea. Even if fixes an
immediate problem, it's likely to result in many others. Beta
versions are beta because they are not expected to be good enough
for release yet.
