I was changing icons and I accidentally messed something up so that when I click on my hard disks, and folders it brings up the "search" menu! I'm not really sure how I messed it up but I was using the "file types" tab of "folder options" to change the icon of my hard drive and folder and I think I might have deleted the "explore" command or the "open" command under the "advanced/edit file type" tab and left the "find" tab. I'm also not sure what the program is that allows you to "open/explore" the hard drive and folders, but I think if I knew that my problem would be solved?!? This is bad and I am frantic! Any help is greatly appreciated!
 
What is the brand and model of your computer.
Do you have a Recovery Disc supplied by the manufacturer, or do you have a full copy of Windows XP or W2K?
The simplest thing to do, and probably the best, is run the Windows CD in R or Repair mode... but this will not work with many of the recovery disc sets.
 
This is fairly common problem.

Go HERE and download and run the script.

If that doesn`t work,there is another fix somewhere,but I

can`t remember where I put it in my 900,000 bookmarks.:rolleyes:
