Re: Windows Explorer always opens a new Window

Hi Carl,

Click Start, type the following command and press ENTER.

reg export hkcr\folder "%userprofile%\desktop\1-folder.txt"

Then, type:

reg export hkcr\directory "%userprofile%\desktop\2-directory.txt"

Then open the files 1-folder.txt and 2-directory.txt using Notepad, copy the contents and paste them along with your reply.

Dear all,

Just recently, (within the last 24 hours) doubleclicking on a folder in the
list view (right hand pane) of Windows Explorer results in a new window being
created as if I had done right-click "open".

I have checked in the Folder Options and "Browse Folders", the "Open each
folder in the same Window" is selected. I am using Vista Ultimate on x64. I
installed Wise Installation Studio and an update yesterday.

Any thoughts? This is very frustrating!

Thanks in advance,

Carl
