I was changing some icons in the folder options->file types on control panel and when I was finished I opened up a folder and it started the search wizard. I went back to file types and changed it so it would open with explorer. (I'm not sure how it got set to not open with explorer but it did?) It worked but now every time I open a folder it open a new window. I changed the folder options to open in the same window but it didn't work. I've been trying to fix it for a couple of days but can't figure it out. Any help would be nice.

Thx

I'm still not exactly sure how the settings got change but I did fix them. I noticed that the zip folders still worked correctly and copied its settings into the regular folder. Something to do with using a DDE. I had to create a new action since I couldn't edit the old ones in the regular folder.
