Sir Topham Hatt Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Okay, so i was busy changing icons and now my menu for the "My Computer" drives is messed up. As you can see, "Search. . ." is now the main option instead of optn. Does anyone know how I can change it back?

rojer_31 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Have you tried using Folder options? Open Explorer. Go to Tools (menu item)->Folder options. In the window that opens, go to the File Types tab. Now find the "Folder" File Type as shown below: Click the advanced button to change properties. The following window, with some changes will open up. Chose open or explore and click set default. You're done! Note that I did this with win 2000, There may be a few changes in win xp.

red one Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Hmmm, Funny, I just had the same experience (change icon and BANG!!!!). If I double click any folder to open, the search window appears. I try to edit Folder Options>File Types>... like you said but no luck RO Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/407466-change-of-right-click-menu/#findComment-586929597 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rojer_31 Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 You cannot find the "Folder" type file? Or is it something else.. Maybe a screenshot would help.

Sir Topham Hatt Posted December 19, 2005 Author Share Posted December 19, 2005 lol, what did that do? The answer wasnt the "FOLDER" icon but "DRIVE". I managed to create an "open" by just naming it "Open" but then couldnt delete it. It opened, but in a new window. The fix above using the RUn command works :D Thank You :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/407466-change-of-right-click-menu/#findComment-586941795 Share on other sites More sharing options...
