Can't open a folder in windows 7 by double click


Can't open a folder in windows 7 64bit, by double clicking, it shows me that the default option for opening folder is "cmd" (it's highlighted when i'm right clicking a folder, and the "open" option comes next). I've tried running some registry fixing tools, but it didn't fix it. Can someone suggest me what should I do.



Answer



Yeah !!! Solved it!!!!


in the regedit I've entered to the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\, there was a sub directory called cmd I've deleted it and now everything works fine.


I think it didn't do any other unexpected damage, I've been using my computer for several hours and it seems there are no unwanted side-effects




An anonymous editor mentioned that deleting subdirectories might not be necessary, he rather solved it by changing the value of (default) to explore (which picks up the explore subfolder instead of the cmd subfolder).
