Opening folders from desktop
Every time I try to open a folder from my desktop, I get the search box
instead of the folders box! How do I revert back to seeing the files? Using XP Pro. |

Do you have any other odd behavior? Like IE acting strange?
Any recent updates or sofware changes? Just from this info, it could be some malware. I would suggest a virus scan as well as something to check for spyware type applications (like ad-aware or hijackthis.) If you boot to safe mode, do they work?

Start - Run - regedit.exe
Open to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell Highlight and in the right pane double click (Default) and enter the exact four characters none Repeat the check at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell -- Alex Nichol MS MVP (Windows Technologies) Bournemouth, U.K. Alexn@mvps.D8E8L.org (remove the D8 bit) |
