Hello Mr Hahn,
If this has just happened recently, then you might consider doing a system restore using a restore point dated before this started to hopefully fix it.
Hope this helps,

i had tried system restore, it was also not working.
Have you tried to reset folder opening as described below?
Open each Folder in the Same or Own Separate New Window
How to Open a Folder Window in a New Process in Windows 7
(Here are some additional directions for Vista, but I believe the Windows 7 method is pretty much the same.) From Windows Explorer open Organize, Folder and Search Options, and on the General page, under Browse Folders, check: "Open each folder in the same window." If you use IE, you can also open IE, go to Tools, Internet Options, Advanced, scroll down to Browsing, and check: "Reuse Windows for launching shortcuts."
If the above methods don't work, perhaps the next logical step would be a scan to try to diagnose the problem. Why don't you follow the steps of Brink's tutorial: SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

thanks dude, scan now worked for me.
You're very welcome, but I can't take any credit. All the knowledge comes from Brink's tutorials!
