KJxp Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 That's pretty much what it does on my pc (XP Home XP2) when I import your *original* reg file. Did you try taking out the default value under "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell" ? When I did that with your reg file, it fixed the problem.

KJxp Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 > On mine, it breaks folders completely!Correction: I think I typed it wrong when I tried it. I found the /VA switch is supposed to delete all values under Folder\Shell, so you can try it safely. It asks you anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywalker Posted May 11, 2005 Author Share Posted May 11, 2005 I tried:REG DELETE "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell" /vaIt didn't work for me, the problem still exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
