Can't open folder in same window

Ok, so I've tried everything I could find on Google, but to no avail i can't get my vista machine to open a folder in the same window. Since about 3 days ago, my folders open up in their own windows and to my knowledge, nothing has changed. The option is checked in the folders option area, but no luck. Even tried numerous registry entries with no luck as well.

From what i've heard, this was an old vista bug from pre-sp1 days, but i can't seem to find a fix if any.

Any Ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Actually, that post was the first one i read before starting a new thread. It seems like I have the "Weird" problem apellizzaro is having, just that none of the fixes seem to work for me.

I guess registry corruption is a likely possibility, but everything else seems to be working fine. Dunno, I'm actually stumped by this one.

Tried that as well, with no luck yesterday. Which is REALLY strange to me as why it wouldn't. At this point, I'm not going to play around with it anymore. Its a new school year so its time to start fresh anyway. I also have a VM of my computer on the server at school from about 3 weeks ago that i'll look at and see if its having the same issues, if not I may just flash my computer back to then. We'll see.

Thanks for everything though.

No problem Pbb321. I hope you get it sorted with one of those methods.
