re: Question about ''Same Window'' vs. ''Own Window'' Saturday, October 22, 2005 at 7:24 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by allard (1 messages posted) Great! Finally a fix for this very annoying bug. I had already found 10 or so fixes to this problem that did not work for me, but did for others. Apparantly, there are many reasons why Windows will make the default action for a folder "open" instead of "explore", without the possibility of changing that back in a normal way. thanks a lot, allard On Monday, September 15, 2003 at 10:43 am, Lanky wrote: > >I was having the same problem.
