Hi, as of today I cannot double click on folders to open. I can do it by right clicking. When I do right click "Explore" is bold not "open". I've ran though this tutorial Default File Type Associations - Restore but did help. Anyone know? I would rather not have to do a system restore if I don't have to. Thanks!
Single-Click or Double-Click to Open an Item
Hi rswannabe, do you have Double click to open checked in Folder Options?

Hi, yes. Mine looks just like your screenshot. This just started today. I get an error that says that it doesn't have a program associated with it. But, it's a folder not a program...and every folder. Also, like I said. I can open by right clicking. But, I notice that EXPLORE is bold not OPEN.

Perhpas you have mistaken System Restore with System Recovery ?
They are 2 different animals.
We do system restore regularly. In fact it is the first line of attack when we encounter problems.
System restore merely " roll " the computer back to a date when you had no problem.... like a " time machine ".
Here is the tutorial for system restore :
System Restore
You have to learn to use that. It saves you a lot of heartache.
Hello Rswannabe,
Did you already download and merge the Folder, Directory, and lnk (LNK) options in the tutorial?
Default File Type Associations - Restore
Hope this helps,
Shawn
