Thankyou for the information,that is a keeper.

HI there! This is my first time here. I have a problem with my files and folders. Everytime I click a file or folder search window comes up. I tried a number of things with no success. Like clicking folder options and then File types. Then I click on File Folder and then advanced ect. Basically in my understanding it must be the settings but I can't delete any commands.
Regards
John

Hello nohacker, welcome to PCHF. Please use the links above to restore individual folder shares, or start a new thread by selecting a category above, followed by New Thread.

Hi, the links just keep turning up as text files? I have no idea how to 'run' them. I am trying to restore my 'File Folders' - which one should I choose?
Thanks!

An alternative way (if your not able to run these properly) is to right click on the association, and save them to somewhere you will remember.

- Then go to Start, Run and type in regedit
- Go to File, followed by Import and select the file you downloaded.

Folder Navigation is the second one down on the list.

yup its working now thanks!!!!!!!!!
