Folder Options Problem

Smoke286 · May 15th, 2003

I have a problem, even though I have open each folder in the same window selected in folder options, each time I click on a folder it opens in a separate window. Any ideas? I'm presuming its something I did while trying to fix my previous problem.

I guess not, I haven't a clue what Exploer extra is

Did you check that registry key I gave you in the previous thread?

Smoke286 · May 16th, 2003

yes that was fine

If I understand what you are saying your problem is just open Windows Explorer, click on Tools, Folder Options, under Browse folders select Open each folder in the same window.

yep *damn my translation is bad, using dutch xp :P*

Oh, ok I tried that first, it doesnt change anything, it is set to open in the same window, but it still opens a separate window all the time

Still having this annoying problem yoyo could it have something to do with the registry settings I changed?

**yoyo** · May 22nd, 2003

What I recommended is the default setting. Perhaps you should doublecheck.

At

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ Directory\ shell

when you click on the folder next to shell, it should read in the right pane

Default REG_SZ none

(not an empty string, but the word "none")

Do you have any subkeys under shell apart from "find"?

Smoke286 · May 22nd, 2003

I have the following subfolders under shell
explore
find
Scan with Ad-aware
Winamp Enque
Winamp Play

in the right pane it says:

Default REG_SZ explore

should I set the value back to none?

**yoyo** · May 22nd, 2003

These are all under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ Directory\ shell not under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ Folder\ shell?

If so, first right click the key, choose export and save it as a backup, just to make sure.
Then change the default value for shell to none and delete all subkeys apart from find .
