double clicking on folders brings up 'open file with what ..

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.file_system (More info?)

Clicking any folder while in my computer does not display contents of
folders, rather it displays a list of programs to select to open the folder.
If I right click the drop down menu displays two OPEN commands. Selecting
the first one brings up the 'open with what program' box while the second
'OPEN' command opens the folder and displays the contents. Any takers?

I could not find the key that contained HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory.
