cant browse folders normally

[lemonfridge.com]

I kinda stuffed something up when trying to change the default folder icon. I went into a folder, clicked Tools, Folder Options, File Types.
Selected File Folder. and browsed for the alt icon. after setting the icon i started getting problems...

When i try to open a folder now, it opens up the windows search tool (set to search the folder). i managed to change it so that it now opens folders in explorer, but in a new window. grrr

Im really stuck

I looked at the Folder entry in the file types list, and that has Explore and Open in its actions. But i cant view the properties of the Open action. I dont want to experiment too much as i dont seem to be able to remove actions from the list.

Please help!

Have you tried doing this?

Open Folder Options in Control Panel.

Click Start, and then click Control Panel.

Click Appearance and Themes, and then click Folder Options.

On the General tab, under Browse Folders, click Open each folder in the same window

yeah.

Its nothing to do with that. Its because instead of OPENING the folder when i double click it, its EXPLORING it.

sorry for not making it clearer.

I understand what your talking about now
Go back to Folder Options
File Types
Highlight Folder
Click edit
Under Actions

Right now you have explore as the default ( Default is in Bold)
click on Open then click set default

this should fix your problem

Open isnt in my actions list.
