| problem: dbl clicking windows explorer folder opens new folder Hi all. Here is the problem with windows explorer XP Pro(I have all the latest updates): when I do _not_ have my LHS pane showing file folders, double clicking a folder in the RHS pane opens the folder in the same explorer window. That is normal and good. But when I _do_ have my folders visible in the LHS pane, double clicking a folder in the RHS pane opens that folder in a _new_ explorer window. Please help correct this annoying problem. Here's what I already tried/verified: 1. Folder options is set to open each folder in the same window 2. my reg key: "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Shell\Default" is set to "none" Thanks!!! Ricky Roma      |
