few days ago i installed some vista transformation pack on winXP and whenever i double click on the folder the search window use to open, now when i have uninstalled the pack still when i double click a folder search window opens instead of the folder getting open.

I know this has to be changed in registry but dunno exactly where to change so that whenever i double click the folder opens normally.

please help and thanx in advance.

Open Regedit and nevigate to:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell

Now delete all its sub-keys, like find, etc.
