copy that

by tillytoo9 · 10 years ago In reply to Folder Option in Windows ...

I have the same issue. One random day...Instead of opening a file to view contents the search option opens. I have to right click and choose open or explore. One more mouse click-what a pain! I'm exhausted. If you find an answer let me know..
Thanks.

Drive and File Fix?

by IC-IT · 10 years ago In reply to Folder Option in Windows ...

For the drive; open a cmdprompt (or Run) and type - regsvr32 /i shell32.dll

For the file issue open regedit and navigate to this key
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
Double-click on the default value and set it to "none" without the quotes

First step completed successfully.

Second step was not.
After HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
my choices are:
ACDBRowse with subfolder command

Next folder is: find/command
find/ddeexec/application
find/ddeexec/topic

The word none does not appear when any of these are chosen.

Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.

itself, there should be nothing except under Name "default" under Type "Reg_SZ" and under Data "none"
Double click (or Right click nd choose Modify) In the Edit String Box, change the "Value Data" to none
