Small Problem

[GreenTea]

Hello

My system is Windows XP Pro.

After I downloaded all critical updates and service packs,
I have small problem.

When I try to access to my hard drives using "My Computer" on desktop,
double click will go to "File Finder" , not "Explorer".
When right click any HD, I can see "File Finder" is darkened, not
"open " nor "explorer"
I can access any drives through "open" or "explorer".

I woukd like to have this PC opens folders using double click..
Any solution?

Thanks in advance.

Start - Run - regedit.exe

Open the left pane, explorer style to
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
and highlight it. In the right pane double click on (Default) and enter
the exact four characters
none

Repeat at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell
