    Annoying issues with Folders


    Just gotten windows 7 a few days back.
    I've found an annoying problem which started last night. When i try to open a nfew folder it opens a new windows as opposed to opening in the same window.
    I have the "Open each folder in the same window" option ticked.
    I have been installing a lot programs and such like so I guess it likely is 1 of them changing the registry settings

    I tried googling for it and there was different answers but none of them fixed the issue of me.

    Anyone have ideas? It's gets really frustrating very quick

    Control Panel>Folder Options
    There is a setting in there that does just what you want.

    Edit: Sorry, I did not read your post very carefully. Try unticking the box and rechecking it.
