758924 2009-03-24 08:19:00 "Explore" is in bold. pcuser42 (130)
758925 2009-03-24 08:27:00 Ok try this:

Go to Folder options>File types tab

1. Click the file type "File Folder"
2. Click the "Advanced' button"
3. Select "Open"
4. Click "Set Default"
5. Click "OK"

If that STILL doesn't work, try this registry hack

Make a system restore point and manually backup registry first(File>Export)

1. Open regedit as administrator
2. Browse to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Shell
3. In the right pane, double click the word "Default" and in under "Value data" type in NONE.

HTH

758926 2009-03-25 04:12:00 This is Vista, so there is no File Types tab. :stare: Also, the registry entry was already at none. :( pcuser42 (130)
758927 2009-03-25 04:37:00 Use a 3rd party program like Creative Element PowerTools. (www.creativelement.com)

Have you tried System restore?

Click the start orb, type in sfc /scannow -- Hit enter - the scanner will run automatically.

(note space between c /s)

May ask for your Vista DVD.
