    Hi im running a heavily stipend down version of windows 7 RTM on my Dell Mini 9 Net book , and its suddenly started opening folders in a new windows when I double click on a folder and I cant stop it. Iv gone into folder option but it douse it regardless of weather I enable the option or not.

    Douse anyone now how I can go back to opening each folder in the same window?

    i know its only a little thing but its getting quite annoying

    Thanks Ben :D

    I think the shell associations are ****ed up. It "Opens" them instead of "Exploring". Very hard to fix. Open the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT key in Regedit to see why. Particularly HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID.

    Please do not hack or use programs like vlite on a O.S, it all about asking for A LOT of trouble, unless you REALLY know what you are doing and know the consequences.
