Folder options help

[fragusmaximus]

Ok so I decided to play around with folder options and got myself burned. I was in file types and played with the settings for file folder. Now the default is set to search or find. So now, whenever I double click a folder in exploerer I get the search window. Anyone know how to restore the default open action?

I guess I have learned my lesson in folder options. Ok I'm lying I didn't learn anything from this. Anyway, can someone help me out? Thanks in advance.

Go to the folder options screen, find Folder, and press edit. If you've still got the "open" action, select it and press set default. If not, press new to create it. In either case you need to set:
Application used:
%SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe /idlist,%I%L
Use DDE:
Ticked
DDE Message:
[ViewFolder("%l", %I, %S)]
Application:
Folders
DDE Application not running:
[]
Topic:
AppProperties
Post again if you have any problems.

Yes this does the trick. Though I'm not sure now what I did that was wrong. I mean, the default "open" does not appear in the "file folder" file type, it never did. Well anyway, I created a new action according to your instructions and set that new action to the default.

Thanks for your help. This will save me from some big headaches until the next time I rebuild, reformat, and reinstall.
