Please log in for more thread options S.Sengupta submitted a link to a KB article that might help. Just to give a
quick run-down on what the article says:
Open registry editor
Go to the registry key "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell" and/or
"HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell"
Edit the "Default" entry to make sure it has a value of "none" (the literal
string "none", NOT an empty string)
I was on the right track, but thanks, S.Sengupta for the link!
