Drive double click opens search
When I double-click on one of my readers, I get the search instead of the menu from the Explorer menu. I went to File Types and found in the car. It has a single line of command: FIND. The editing options are grayed out. I don't know rename FIND to EXPLORE. (I think that's what should happen.)
Does anyone have a regfile that would make a double click on a drive to the folder explore so I can see what files are on it?
Type this in run regsvr32 /i shell32.dll click OK (Note 2 spaces)

Original title: music file won't play second hard drive by double click.
Windows 7 ultimate/64
I have a second hard drive on which I store my music files. If I open a player (Foobar is what I use now) and open the music file in the program, he plays very well, since the second HD.
But if I double click on the music file (.mp3, usually), I get the message:
"The requested operation requires a rise."
I think it should open in the player by default when I do that.
I remember well, it wasn't the case when I started to use this computer (it's fairly new), while something might have changed.
I have the .mp3, .wav etc all default extensions for the Foobar player program.I went through elaborate measures to appropriate the entire disk and have granted full permissions for me as a user, following to the letter one of the many sites of the detailed instructions for this operation. But there is no help in sight.
Original title: music file won't play second hard drive by double clickSo I can let my reader opens a music file leave a second drive, but I can't call him by double click or click right/context citing the player. When I do that, nothing happens, but I don't get the message "requires a rise."
Every time I think that I am getting to know Windows 7, something like this happens. Avoid to receive life dull, of course.
Thanks a lot for your suggestions. I've pretty much exhausted my own attempts.
Jack
Update: I think I've solved the problem. I have no idea that what caused it, but here's what fixed it:
1 uninstalled Foobar with usual Control Panel uninstall
2A through the startup disk everything and delete folders or files with the name "foobar" in them.
3 did the same for the registry (creating a point of restoration first, of course)
4 restarted
5 download and install Foobar.Yes.
Works very well.
A big thank you to all who responded.

Double click Open do files more
A student has this problem, so I saw him in the computer lab from time to time.
One of my students was Office 2010, she is unable to open any Office program with a double click. For Word when you double-click on nothing happens... The file association is not, and when I select open with, the word is not listed. And I can't find the exe for Word.
With Excel, the Association is good, and Excel is open on double click, however does not load the file. The only way to open a file in Excel (and Word) is through file and open.
My student has lost its Office 2010 disc, so I can't reinstall to fix this.
Hello
Follow the steps in the article mentioned below and check if this solves the problem.
A Microsoft Excel, Word or PowerPoint 2010 file does not open because of incorrect file associations.

Hello
you have a problem with my Windows laptop that left me speechless.
I would really appreciate if someone could provide a solution or any ideas where to start fixing this, as I get close to return to the previous backup full system, but reluctant to do so as I have never done it before so I'm worried if it really works as supposed (Macrium and Ping).
1. description of the problem
All users of Windows XP (SP3) restricted accounts open all of a sudden 'Map network drive' by clicking on the desktop and the "research" by clicking on any folder, including My Documents.
However, all accounts administrator work as before and also user accounts work like so usual, they are included in the Administrators group, with respect to the clicks of the workstation and records.
In addition, the correct icons for 'Drive' and 'Record' are visible when connected as long as administrator but lacking when logged as long as user restricted when you check the file associations by "open the folder and then click on Folder Options in the Tools menu.» Click the registry file types list. »
2 solution unsuccessful attempts
2. google and tried the solution to manually change the registry entries from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321186
"
Start the editor of the register (Regedt32.exe).
Look for, and then click the default value under the following registry keys if this problem occurs with folders:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
If this problem occurs with drives:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell
Click on edit in the Edit menu.
Type 0 in the value data box, and then click OK.
Exit the registry editor.
"(Fixit associated meanings has also not working for some reason, says that the Windows Installer does not run, don't know if the same problem...)
2B. and then also tried the fix "regsvr32 /i shell32.dll" at http://blog.chron.com/helpline/2005/10/double-click-opens-search-instead-of-folder/.
After these steps, the registry under "Drive" and "Directory" information are as attaché at the end read somewhere there should be a "find" under lock and key, as I have, but don't know if the subkeys under 'Search' are what causes weird behavior.
If anyone knows and could provide what the values for the registry values must be in a system that works, would be nice to compare to possible problems.
Unsuccessfully, with what precedes, to solve the problem, but noticed through that:
2 c. When you are logged in as administrator, I am able to see and modify the registry keys concerned with regedit, considering that when logged in as a regular user, I get an error that translates roughly as "the key could not be opened [consultation]?.» Error in opening the key. "for"Default icon"and subkeys 'shell' to 'Drive' and some subkeys under"shellex ".
Oddly enough, this is also the case even if I "Run with" regedit as a user belonging to the Administrators group when logged in as a limited user. Could be the mechanism of Windows registry access.
Noticed that the small group 'Users' did not have access to "Drive". Grant read access, even as the "directory" and other registry keys next to them, for "users".
Now see the values of registry as a limited user, but the problem persists. Do you really know what to try next, after spending hours Googling for answers.
3 computer laptop environment and other factors
3. don't know if it's related, but perhaps that coincides the time and the possible reason of sage:
I had the problem two days ago described in "account Administor doesn't have access to some files and registry entries" to http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Windows/XP/Q_27415496.html.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\2. If you want to have permissions for group 'Users' to read all these keys in the registry. For some reason any access worked only partly for standard users.
Not sure who finally solved this problem, but after I had finished 1. and 2. for the purpose of 'Record', by clicking on 'My computer' and any folder works normally for all users of the computer.
I suspect that some recent installation of program which adds actions associated with these objects messed up the registry. Suspects are Norton Antivirus and dbPowerAmp.
Thanks for the suggestions for this problem!

Don't double-click to open files
I'm unable to open any folder in Windows Explorer via doubleclicking (I need to right click and click Open). When I try to double click I get the message "this file has not a program linked with her...." ».
I ran a registry cleaner last night and I'm afraid that it deleted a registry value which allowed double-clicks open folders. I tried the system restore, but it did not work.
Suggestions?
Thank you!
Registry cleaners are bad news. They Excel in three things:
(a) they do fear the light of the day in the life of people by doing a lot of things that "are wrong" with the registry and which need fixing.
(b) at best, their actions have no beneficial effect on the operation of Windows.
(c) at worst windows damage or ruin.(It seems as if one) and c) applies in your case. I recommend you do this:
-Uninstall immediately the registry cleaner, then throw it away.
-Use the process below to restore a backup copy of your registry files. The process is complex and requires some careful typing. Ask a computer-savvy friend to help you if you lack experience in this field. Note that it may reset your password to a previous value.
1. keep tapping F8 during the first phase of startup.
2. select Repair from the menu.
3 log in as administrator if you are prompted.
4. Select repair when prompted.
5. Select the command line.
6. identify the correct drive letter for your Windows installation. It could be one drive other than c, but it will not X:. You do this by typing commands
DIR C:\Win*
Dir D:\Win*
dir E:\Win*
until you find the Windows folder.
I'll call this "Q:" drive
7 type these commands:
CD /d Q:\windows\System32\config
xcopy *. * Q:\RegBack\
CD RegBack
dir
8. review the dates of the software, system, and SAM files. The files created before or after that is your problem?
9. If they were made before the problem appeared, you can then type these commands:
copy software / y...
/y copy system...
/y copy Sam...
(the two points are part of each order)
10. restart normally. If things don't work then you can go back by copying files from the original register of Q:\Regback to Q:\Windows\System32\config. -

When I double click on a folder, a search window opens automatically.
When I double click on a folder, a search window opens automatically instead of the usual view of Windows Explorer that displays the contents of the folder. I must in order to display the contents of the folder, right click and select open, then I can see the contents of the folder. What setting do I change to stop the search engine to open and have the regular Windows Explorer mode appear?

I tried "folder options" and change the folder options with no luck. Then set the folder to Preset Options with no luck. It happened all of a sudden. My photos, my Docs, my computer, some Office files - I right click and arrow down to open I want to open the file instead of just double click or use the arrow keys to highlight and press ENTER to open. Whenever the search will open in a new window.
