File folders

[m1garand]

When I double click on a file folder the search screen opens. This is because I changed a default folder setting by accident. How do I get the default back i.e. opens with list of files in folder? Thanks for your help.

Folder Opens Search Window

Go to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 /i shell32

If that doesn't correct the issue use this automated edit:

To use the VBS File: Download .vbs file and save it to your hard drive (you may want to right click and use Save
Target As). Double-click the vbs file. You will be prompted when the script is done.

Manual Edit:

Start/Run/Regedit
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Shell

Set the Default value to "none" without the quotes. To do this, double click where it says Default.

You may also need to check:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell
The default value for this entry should be "none", as well.
