How to delete 'Print Out a Directory Listing' ?

Microsoft have a system for printing directories in WindowsXP (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321379)
There was a request a year or so ago on how to remove this function, once installed
(Wednesday, September 14, 2005 at 11:14 am, Paul Wright ). There appeared to be
no answer on how to remove it at that time.
I have installed it exacly as recommended by microsoft - and it works - but other
directory printers onbtainable from the internet are much better.
Can anyone help me remove the microsoft one from my system, please?

There is a Beautiful thing called Windows Registry. Just open “regedit” and search
for the name you called in the actions list. For example I called it “Print Directory
Listing”. Or just goto the following location. This location may be different if
you’re not running windows XP. Backup registry before removing anything. Remove
the item you added. Close registry, you may have to reboot.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell

ALSO,
If you want to fix Double Click Always Opens Search in Windows Explorer
If you mess around in the registry, or install some different software packages that
add things to the right-click menu, you can end up with a problem where the default
action on a folder is always “Search…”, even though you set it to something else.
There’s a quick and easy fix for this problem. Open up regedit.exe by using Start\Run
and then browse down to this registry key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
Double-click on the default value and set it to “none” without the quotes, as seen
here:

Hello friend,
i followed the same procedure (editing the regedit) what you said. But unfortunately
now doubleclick on the folder prompts to "open with" dialog box instead of opening
the folder. Please give me the solution. i am in big trouble.

Thankyou Aj. It took some time for me to get the courage to fiddle with the Registry
- but it wasn't the savage beast I'd imagined!

Hi, AJ. Also trying to get rid of the "always opens search" when one clicks a folder.
Followed you up to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, but can't find 'Directory\shell' in the long
list that ensues. Any advice? Thanks. John
