Change of Right-Click Menu?

[Sir Topham Hatt]

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?

Thanks,

Peter

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.

I'll have a look.

BTW, what style and mouse have you got there?

The windowblind skin is called "BlackMesa". I have no idea about the author. The cursor xp skin is called "Moshi__s_Premium".

Anyway. did the fix work?

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

You cannot find the "Folder" type file? Or is it something else.. Maybe a screenshot would help.

Nevermind, I find to solution through google :)

To TheTrainMan,..

What you need is just Run the command (START>RUN)

regsvr32 /i shell32.dll

That's it,...

Here's the detail information about it:

Glad you solved it :)

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
