Problem Opening Folders

Earlier today I was changing some folder settings. I went into "Tools > Folder Options > File Types" and selected "File Folder." I then went into "Advanced" and added a new action which ended up being a Command Prompt action. I then accidently set that action as default so when i go to open folders now, the command prompt opens up in that directory. It wont give me the option to delete or edit actions so I'm currently stuck. As you can imagine, it's pretty annoying.

Try using a restore to a time prior to the change.

Search Companion Starts If You Double-Click a Folder
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321186/en-us

If you double-click a drive or folder, Search Companion may start and the drive or folder may not open. If you configure settings for other actions that are associated with drives or file folders (for example, Open Command Window Here or Print Directory Listing), Windows may perform one of these actions instead of starting Search Companion.
