Hello,

I must've messed around too much with the Tools> folder options menu
because the only action that is shows for all my drives is find. When I
double-click my c drive the "find files and folders" screen pops up. Could
anyone tell me how to change all the drives back to opening their contents?
All the drives have been changed the same way. I checked drive and the only
action is find. I just don't know how to setup a new action to open them
again.

Actually,

My system restore is turned off. Is there anyone in this newsgroup that
knows what they're talking about?

This usually happens if you've edited the File Folder or Drive via the
Folder Options File Types dialog, in order to add a context-menu item such
as "Command Prompt here", "Print Directory" feature for folders or drives.

Quick fix - (Tip from David Candy)

Click Start, Run and type this command:
regsvr32 /i shell32.dll

To fix the problem manually, open Registry Editor and navigate to:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
-and-
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell

In the right-pane, locate and click the (Default) value under the keys
mentioned above
Click Modify on the Edit menu.
Type the word none in the Value data box, and then click OK.
Exit Registry Editor.
