Hey guys,

Does anyone know the solution to the following:

When in windows explorer, you can right click onto a folder.

Then you see a menu, with open, explore, search, send to and more..

How can I change the order of those options? Because if search is the first one in order, its very irritating when you click a folder, and search starts over and over again...

Preferably without XP powertoys..

Thanks in advance..

Hmm, here is what my win xp home edition looks like.

So you don't want search to be the first one? Or you do?

I'm a bit confused.

Although I have never heard of editing the menu order.

Yeah search should not be the first in line, because the bold one (top one..) is used when you double click.

But I solved it already :D

point to tools, folder options, file types --> file folder

there you can adjust some things..

But its also possible with registry edit

I used changed some registry settings with a *.reg file I found...

It was something with HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTFOLDERSHELL

after reboot it worked again..

all files double-clicked are nicely opened again in the same explorer..

You can get programs that make a nice front end to edit that stuff in the registry.

What is it with you guys, first Windows is to controling a front end to controle your computer. . now you want another application because you are to lazy to click to a few menu's. Windows is axactly what you desirve ;)

so you should need a more front end than the front end called windows :P
