Right clicking on same file folder displays drop-down window with top line in boldface type reading "open command window here" and "open" is in regular type but half-way down the drop-down window list.

Well, I'll be darned. Just like that! It works. I did as you said. Start
Run (entered regsvr32 /i shell32) and hit OK. Now when I double click a file folder . . . voila that file folder opens instead of going to the C:\ prompt. Thanks. And thanks, too, for the immediate response to my query. "Wesley Vogel" wrote in message ... Try any of the following.
