folder opens in new window
So I'm played with the folder options over and over and for some reason ever
though I have clicked open folder in same window and "launch folder window in a seperate process" is NOT clicked, for some reason when I double click to open a folder it still opens it with a new window. Also, under file types it won't let me edit or remove the commands for folder, drive, and file folder. Anyone know what's up? -- "just a collection of recollections conversations consisting of the kind of marks we make when we're trying to get a pen to work again.

Rachel,
This happens if one adds additional commands for Folders/Drives via Folder Options, File Types dialog, and making modifications to the "File Folders". To remove additonal commands that you added to "File Folders", you need to edit the registry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell "Find" is the only sub-keys present by default (added by Windows XP). Remaining ones can be deleted safely. But, be sure to backup the registry before deleting the keys. Then, execute this command from Start/Run: (Tip from David Candy) regsvr32 /i shell32.dll -- Ramesh, Microsoft MVP Windows XP Shell/User http://windowsxp.mvps.org "Rachel" wrote in message ...
