o.O My Start Menu

[anak]

Ok so I double click on a folder in my programs list and i get this WINDOW (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b109/aftershock013/Untitled0.jpg). Then I have to exit out of it to actually open the folder. what's the deal? i fiddled around with winxp tweaks with XPSmoker.. that's the last thing i remember doing before it started happening.
i am getting really annoyed because i have this thing where i need to put everything in my start menu.. here's another screenshot for CLARIFICATION (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b109/aftershock013/Untitled2.jpg).
Guys please help me its so frustrating :cry:

I dont know exactly what you did but i expect you changed the default
"open" of a folder to "move to".

You do know that you only need to clik once for items in start menu to expand....?

I just looked at that xpsmoker program, it asks you to make a restore point at the beginning, did you make one, if so you should be able to revert all your tweaks.

I don't see anything in xpsmoker that could have caused this....

When you right clik on the "programs" folder
do you see...


Open
Explore
-------
Open all users
Explore all users


?:huh:



here is a possible solution
open explorer
in tools
clik folder options
then "file types"
scroll down to
(NONE) File Folder
mark it
clik "advanced"
does it say anything in the box, it should be empty, but yours probably says "move"
or something else?
mark "move" and
clik "Remove"
ok

then

in filetypes
mark (NONE) Folder
clik "advanced"
there should only be
- explore
- open
in there
mark "explore" > set as default
Remove or keep anything else other than explore or open.
ok

test it
if it doesn't work reboot to set it right.

test it.

Thanks for your response. I found that there is actually an option in xpsmoker that changes the option... stupid, huh? when going on an optimizing streak, i accidentally clicked it, i guess... lol i fixed it all is well :D

If it's not broke, tweak it.
