| 758913 | 2009-03-24 03:58:00 | Recently my computer (Vista Home Premium SP1) has started opening folders in a new window, rather than the same window. The settings are correct. Also, my DVD-RAM drive is now being detected as a CD drive (but still reads DVDs). |

| 758915 | 2009-03-24 04:20:00 | Have you tried this with the Folders - in the control Panel / Folder options - hit the restore Defaults.- reboot. Sometimes even if they look right something goes wrong. |

| 758916 | 2009-03-24 04:21:00 | I did the restore defaults button but not the reboot. :p | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 758917 | 2009-03-24 04:27:00 | Sometimes it takes a reboot sometimes it does nothing - nothing to lose. If that doesn't work- have a read of This article (www.vistax64.com) - see if theres any solution. Edited: read the posts as well |

| 758918 | 2009-03-24 05:09:00 | I finally got around to restarting :p, and it didn't fix the problem. :( | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 758919 | 2009-03-24 07:09:00 | You can try going to the view tab>apply to all folders if you haven't already |

| 758920 | 2009-03-24 07:16:00 | I had this problem on XP once - I somehow set 'Open Command prompt here" as the default action when opening a folder. The only wqay I found to reset it was a system restore. You could have a look in Folder Options, under Folder and File Folder. |

| 758921 | 2009-03-24 07:48:00 | Somehow, the default action is Explore, yet when I right-click folder and select Explore, it opens in the same window. :confused: | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 758922 | 2009-03-24 08:04:00 | Normally selecting Explore in the context menu opens a new window. Try reviewing the settings in Folder options like I said above - see if that sets it right. |
