[Help] [fixed] Restore default settings for file types

[Mamoun]

When I was trying to change drivers icons in my computer through Folder options > file types > drive > advanced > change icon, sth else changed, as when I click on any drive now, it perform the first action for it after opening (ex. explore in ACDsee ) and doesn't open normally.

when I got back to the advanced configuration of drive file type, I see Browse with Acdsee & find only, and there is no open command, and when I tried to create one (by make it opens with explorer.exe) It worked but it's annoying that it opens in a new window.

any ideas to fix this?

Thanks

I don't know of any way to reset it totally, but try using a registry cleaner. Not one like the one integrated in ccleaner, but something like norton windoctor or tuneup utilities.

Though I'd recommend tuneup anyday.

Start regedit and go to the classes_root, find Drive and expand it, select Shell subkey and then select the Default value on the right, press Delete key.

Thanks for replying,

@T D: There is sth wrong with the link, It's a link to site that sells domain.

@LLXX: Do you mean drv file type? Okay I expanded it, and here what I saw:

There is no sub key called shell, so what to modify here?

and looks like that Drive has no extension

Aaargh! I missed out a hyphen!

I'd still recommend it even if you don't have problems.

You picked the wrong key.

"Drive" not ".drv"!

Thanks again TD, I will take a look at tune up.

And at last I found it, deleted the modified key, but it didn't work, then I tried to change it to "none", and it worked!

Thanks guys for your assistance...
