Repair file (folder) associations!
I've tried to customize my Windows2003 in a way I have new icons for all standard desktop icons. I also tried to modify the icon associated with a folder. Seems there are 2 types of folder: a folder and a datafolder.
I've tried to customize my Windows2003 in a way I have new icons for all standard desktop icons. I also tried to modify the icon associated with a folder. Seems there are 2 types of folder: a folder and a datafolder. Anyway, I only changed the icons, but after I did this, my folders didn't open correctly.
When I opened a folder, the standard opening action was "Find", so instead of the contents of the folders, I had to push the "Find" button do display any file.
I managed to set the defaut to "open", but since then, all folders I open are displayed in a new window. (I'm quite a tidy person, so my drive has many folder, you can't imagine the burden when I want to open somethings which is 8 folders down the root). Since then, I use the tree-like explorer, but I'd like my settings back.
Is there a way to restore the folder and datafolder association? If there isn't, can someone give me the complete command for opening? I cant view the default setting properties, since it's secured or something.
Thank you

Hi,
I've got the same problem before. However, I'm running WinXP. Solved mine by changing the following registry key
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\(Default)
to "open"...
Hope this helps.
Cheers
