unable to edit rightclick shortcuts for file folders

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Go to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 /i shell32

If that doesn't correct the issue (and it should) use this automated edit:

Search or CMD Opens When Double Clicking a Folder or Drive (Line 18)

Shortcut to what and exactly how?

next post. If you would have stated where you had added it, I could have
been more precise. And glad to hear the secondary note. Thanks for the
feedback.
