Default Windows Explorer opening folders in new window?

Hi all.
Winders XP Pro SP 2
Clicking on a folder opens the folder in a new separate window.
Tried changing it. Tools/folder options/browse folders is clicked to
open in the same folder..... but it doesn't.

Regedit;
hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\windows\curre ntversion\explorer\advanced
SeparateProcess value is (0)

Still happens tho.


hkey_classes_root\folder\shell\explore\command
value is
%SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe /SAME, /e,/idlist,%I,%L


hkey_classes_root\folder\shell\open\command
value is
%SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe /idlist,%I,%L

{WITHOUT} /SAME


Anyone know where in the registry or options I can force explorer to
open folders in the same window? It's getting real tiresome to end up
with instances of explorer open all over the place.

I can click folders on the left side in the tree view and they'll open
on the right side in the same window but that's also tedious to me.

HELP, MR. WIZARD!
