Phoenix Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 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..

Andrew Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 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 :Dpoint to tools, folder options, file types --> file folderthere you can adjust some things..But its also possible with registry editI used changed some registry settings with a *.reg file I found...It was something with HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTFOLDERSHELLafter reboot it worked again.. all files double-clicked are nicely opened again in the same explorer..

erjin999 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 You can get programs that make a nice front end to edit that stuff in the registry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
