Small problem...

Sometime last night...something changed on my computer here, where everytime you double click say, a folder, or a drive in explorer, it opens up a Search Files and Folders window... Im not sure...how exactly that happened...but I am curious if anyone might be able to help me out in correcting that issue, otherwise i have to go and do a restore to yesterday morning, which will erase all changes i have made...meaning i have to do all this again :eek: ! Thanks guys :)
 
BTW, i noticed this problem, thismorning after installing TweakUI for XP! but i cant seem to find what i changed that would make a difference like that. im trying to reset all the settings i changed... only a few really.
 
Open regedit and navigate to:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ Directory \ Shell

and

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ Drive \ shell

and give both the value of: None
 
Ah! I guess we think alike. I finaly remembered that i had changed a ton of icons in the type thing...which dont do nothin at all for the display icons i guess... so, anyway... somehow that messed up the regsettings, drive had defaulted to "find", so i checked all my friends XP systems with remote desktop, and they all had the same, only not default, so i just added an new entry, open, yadda yadda, and deleted it from the registry all is well. In effect does the same thing you just stated. Thank you allan. :D Learn somethin new every day. time for a nap :).

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
