I've found an error has been found in Windows Explorer.

Try to do these step:
- Open Windows Explorer and enter any folder (except My Computer or Control
Panel or some places like that)
- Open menu Tools and Folder Options
- Click File Type Tab
- Choose: File Folder
- Click Advanced Button
- Don't edit any value in the dialog and press OK button only.

And after you do that, when you open any folder in the Windows Explorer, it
would not do as you expected.

Microsoft please help me to solve this problem.

Thanks

Modifying the "File Folders" via Folder Options always causes the problem,
which is documented in the last part of these two MS-KBs.

Issue: Search Companion Starts If You Double-Click a Folder

This problem occurs when you alter the "Drive" / "File Folders" entries via
File Types dialog, to add a "Command Prompt here" or "Print Directory"
feature for folders. (example)

Resolution:

Click Start/Run and type this command to fix this problem:
(Tip from David Candy)

regsvr32 /i shell32.dll

-or-

To fix this manually via registry:

If this problem is seen for Drives:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell
Set (default) to "none" (without ")

If this problem is seen for folders:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell]
Set (default) to "none" (without ")
