Removal of Seach and Explore on drop down menus
I recently had my hard drive reformated. When I go to open a folder it goes
directly to "search" I used to be able to double click and up would come the contents of the folder - now I have to right click and select 'open' how can I get it back the way it was. -- Skiach |

Issue: Search Companion Starts If You Double-Click a Folder
This problem occurs when you alter the "Drive" / "File Folders" entries via File Types dialog, to add a "Command Prompt here" or "Print Directory" feature for folders. (example) http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=321379 http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=321186 Click Start/Run and type this command to fix this problem: regsvr32 /i shell32.dll (Courtesy of David Candy) To fix this manually via registry: If this problem is seen for Drives: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell Set (default) to "none" (without ") If this problem is seen for folders: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell] Set (default) to "none" (without ") -- Ramesh, Microsoft MVP Windows XP Shell/User http://windowsxp.mvps.org "skiach" wrote in message ...
