DRIVE OPENS IN DIFFERENT WINDOW
Trouble:
As we all know the expected behaviour is that each drive opens in the same window until a user has explicitly set the option Open Each Folder In Its Own Window. under File menu >> Tools >> Folder Options in General.
Why It drive opens in new window?
It happens when a program or virus tries to edit the File Folder or Drive shell entries to add more context menu items and set them as default for double click action.
Lets see how we can fix this.
Fix:
First Method:
1. Open Start >> Run and type regsvr32 /i shell32.dll
2. press ok
3. You will see a message DllRegisterServer and DllInstall in shell32.dll succeeded
4. that’s it
Second Method:
1. Open Start >> Run and type regedit
2. Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Directory/Shell
3. Double click the default key type none and press ok.
4. now navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Drive/Shell.
5. Double click the default key type none and press ok.

Hi! I loved your cartoon. I know I have felt the same as I am not that great with computers. I am commenting because I was so impressed with your views of life; and with your strong sense of loyalty. Also with your desire to help others in your area of knowledge. I am a lot older than you and while I've always had the sense of loyalty towards friendship, it took me a long time to learn to say no to those things that drain and ultimately mean nothing. So I do want to encourage you. K. Rodriguez
