To set the Folder Tree as default:

1. Open "Folder Options" then select the "File Types" tab.

2. Scroll down to "(NONE) Folder" and click it, then click
the "Advanced" button (at the bottom).

3. Click on "explore" then click the "Set Default" button.

4. OK, Apply, OK.


An easier way to set the folder tree as default:

Copy the string below and paste it into the Run box:

reg.exe add HKCR\Folder\shell /ve /t REG_SZ /d explore

- Windows Explorer> Tools> Folder Options> File Types tab.
- In the list, select the icon for (NONE) Folder and click Advanced button.
- In the Actions list, select explore and click Set Default button.
- OK, Apply and OK.
