find the reg key to rid this burden....The folder is iTunes music (desktop
shortcut) the context menu contains..
SEARCH, Add to winamps bookmark list and a heap of winrar options, etc etc
all i want is OPEN and Explore..

Hi Check these registry entries.

Start>Run and type
regedit

Navigate to:
HKCR\Folder\Shell
Double-click default (REG_SZ) in the right-hand pane and ensure the
value is blank (value not set). If not delete the default key.

HKCR\Drive\shell
Double-click default (REG_SZ) in the right-hand pane and ensure the
value is "none". If not modify the value of the default key to "none".
Do not include the "".

HKCR\Directory\shell
Double-click default (REG_SZ) in the right-hand pane and ensure the
value is "none". If not modify the value of the default key to "none".
Do not include the "".

Unfortuantly this did not rid the "search" whick is the main problem because
it's put itself at the top of the context menu, meaning if i double click
file folders a "search" will open instead of the folder.
