I think I followed the suggested fix below but each window still opens up a new window. Under Folder\ Shell I have another folder named \shell; under that shell there are two folders, one named \explore and the other named \open. explore has two folders named \command and \ddeexec. \open has two folders named \command and \ddeexec. I cleaned the default value that was in the topmost Shell folder. Was that the right one?
