| message from =?Utf-8?B?S2F0ZQ==?= on 10 Jun 2004 |
Recently I somehow managed to screw up my file folders. When I double click, they don't open like they should; instead they open a search. I tried to fix it by adding 'open' to the advanced table in the folder options (file types), but I wasn't sure what program to select to get it to open the way it should. This is driving me crazy! How can I fix the problem and get my file folders back to normal? I need help ASAP. I could restore my computer, but I have so many files I don't want to lose, so I'd love it if someone could help me out.

In Windows Explorer go to Tools>Folder Options and click the Defaults
button. This should take all the folder options back to the Microsoft
default. Do this on all the tabs. Make sure you tell the Options to make
all folders the same. When you get things squared away you can then set up
your folder options the way you want them.

Undo what ever you've done. Then type in Start Run
regsvr32 /i shell32
It is caused by playing with folders in the buggy FileTypes dialog.

As you will if you play with it in the file types dialog. If you have to =
use FT dialog then always run this afterwards.
