Hi MrFrench...

Click Start, then Run, type regedit and click "Ok".

In the left pane, expand (click +) HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, then Directory, and click on shell.
In the right pane, what is the value listed for (Default)?

Then, in the left pane, expand Drive and click on shell. In the right pane, what is the value listed for (Default)?

Click Start, then Run, type regedit and click "Ok".

In the left pane, expand (click +) HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, then Directory, and click on shell.

In the right pane, double click on (Default). Type none in the Value Data field and click "Ok". Close Registry Editor.

Reboot and try opening your folder.
