hard drive menu |
|
|
For some reason when I click on a hard drive icon I open the search assistant
with the annoying dog instead of the open command. How do I reset this menu?

This problem occurs when you alter the "Drive" / "File Folders" entries via File Types dialog, to add a "Command Prompt here" or "Print Directory" feature for folders. (example)
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=321379
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=321186
Click Start/Run and type this command to fix this problem:
regsvr32 /i shell32.dll
(Courtesy of David Candy)
To fix this manually via registry:
If this problem is seen for Drives:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell
Set (default) to "none" (without ")
If this problem is seen for folders:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell]
Set (default) to "none" (without ")
