Adding Print Directory Feature
Using "How to add the Print Directory feature for folders in Windows XP"
Article ID 321379, when editing the registry, instructions tell me to locate Default value under the following key. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell I assume this is the word "Default" which appears on the right when you click on the word "shell" on the left. The instruction go on to say click "Modify" under the "Edit" menu, then enter the word "none" (no brackets) in the "File data" box. However, the box that appears is called "Value data" box. Are they the same? Thanks in advance for taking a look at this. |

After you follow the steps in the previous sections, Search Companion may start when you double-click a folder instead of the folder being opened. Or, if you have associated other actions with file folders, those actions may be performed instead ..." In other words - if that describes your situation, you utilize that section. If that doesn't describe you - you don't need to do that section. See the attached picture...
