Hello guyz...
recently i made some changes in the folder options in my computer and from then.. when i double click a folder, the contents of the folder is not being displayed but i am getting search window.. i mean to say the default option for double click has changed from open to search..
anyone plz suggest the solution.

under the folder options, click the file types tab->click on folder-> click the advanced tab-> and then select open command and click on set as default.

ur done

Ya I actually tried this thing prior.. but the problm is .. After i set "search" as default option, open and explore options was not appearing in the list there.. I also tried to create "New" action but i donno which file corresponds to Open action...
Plz try to change the default option for File Folder as search and try to restore it to open.. if u can get that.. plz tell me how.. thanx...

Check following:

Open regedit and goto:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\Shell

Under this key delete all keys except "explore" and "open".

Hi vishal...
I didnot find any other keys in "shell" except open and explore.
Actually I have modified the default option for "File folder" but not "Folder".. plz suggest where to modify the keys...

if u r using xp then after changing the option set it to say always open with is program

Okey!

Now nevigate to:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell

And delete all subkeys, like "find", etc...

Yeah.. Its done.. Thank u vishal...
