Explore instead of Open?

[noRemorse]

Every time I double click on a folder, it opens the explore window instead of just opening the folder. I hate the explore window, it's annoying because if I want to open the folder I have to right-click and go to open. I tried changing the settings in th
e folder options in the control panel by selecting open as default, but it still won't work. Help?

Go to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 /i shell32

If that doesn't correct the issue (and it should) use this automated edit:

Search or CMD Opens When Double Clicking a Folder or Drive (Line 18)

To use the VBS File: Download .vbs file and save it to your hard drive (you
may want to right click and use Save Target As). Double-click the vbs file.
You will be prompted when the script is done.
