Folders keep opening in new window.

[Synomenon]

I was looking through my registry today to find a way to get WinRAR's context menu items back since they had suddenly disappeared. When looking through the registry, I accidentally deleted something and am not sure what it was. Anyway, after accidentally deleting the registry key(s), every folder I open, opens in a new, separate window. I've gone into:

Control Panel
- Folder Options

and clicked on "Open each folder in the same window", apply then OK then restarted my PC, but it doesn't work. I set it back to "Open each folder in its own window" and restarted then once Windows was started up, changed it back to "Open each folder in the same window" then finally restarted again.

Nothing works. Folders keep opening in their own windows. Anyone know how to fix this? I want it back so that when I open a folder inside another folder it opens in the same window instead of opening a new window.

hey,
don't know how to fix this, i always make backups before i ruin my registry 🙂 but i suggest the restore option
Control panel -> Backup and restore center
u should try to restore to the latest working state ... thats the best i can think of, should work, it helped me out always ...
let us know if it works 🙂

I did a system restore using the latest restore point an hour after posting. It worked and it also fixed the WinRAR context menu problem I was having. Today, the WinRAR context menu problem started happening again. Don't know why it keeps happening.
