Everytime I double click on a folder, it will open a new window for the newly opened folder. I chosed the setting at "Folder Options" in windows explorer to "Open each folder in the same window" but windows still open a new folder in a separate window. How do I change it?

I noticed that it behaves like this when I tried manually change the folders icon.

Hi gmhafiz...Welcome to G2G!

In Folder Options, under the View tab, put a check next to "Remember each folder's view settings"..."Apply" the change and click "Ok".

That setting is already checked. I am still having the same problem.

Ok gmhafiz...

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

In the left pane, expand HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT then expand Folder and left click on shell. In the right pane, double click on "Default" and in the "Value Data" box type none and click "Ok"...Exit the registry editor. Your folders should now work correctly.

Sorry for the late reply. Unfortunaly, I am still having the same problem although I have edited the registry. Is there any other way to fix this?

please read this article about repairing windows. If you still have your recovery cd, you might be able to get your computer back the way it was.

Let's not do an xp repair just yet...

Hello, gmhafix.

Try going to Tools > Folder Options, Click the View tab, verify the correct settings have a checkmark by them, then hit the "Apply to all folders" button which is right above the settings area, still under the view tab.

I used ASUS recovery CD and installed all the drivers. Finnally, I can open new folder in the same windows. However, there is no icon for D drive as you can see from this picture:

It happens like that since I wasn't able to open new folders in the same windows. How do I change its icon?
