Cant delete file types ... HELP

[Agaric]

In my "Folder Options" I modified the "file type" for my "file folder", I edited the "file type" and now I have some entries that I dont want but I cant delete any of them and I also do not know the command line to make the "file folder" open in the same window.

I have admin rights on xp and changing the option to open in the same window on the "General" tab doesnt change anything.

Please Help !

ok..You probably weren't aware if this but it is "bad" per se to change any default file type action or icon using the folder options window...by default types I mean stuff like File Folder, Drive..etc...for icon changes to those, modify your shell32.dll

try doing this to set everything back to default.. go into regedit and modify these keys

Hkey_classes_root\drive\shell Change the values listed to none

do the same for Hkey_classes_root\directory\shell


that should help get everything straightened out again..but backup reg just incase

I appreciate that but ...

I have done that a million times but then you werent aware of that.

The thing that got me was the fact that I couldnt manipulate (delete, edit) the additions I added, weird.

anyway thanks ....

Hmmm

Cool, that cleared out those annoying extra entries, now do you know the command line to make the folders open in the same window, instead of opening a new one each time ?

Yes, I know of the option in folder options -> general, but it doesnt change anything.

Thanks Again ....
