Windows 7 - Favorites folders in the My Computer window

Windows 7 - Favorites folders in the My Computer window I'm using Windows 7 Enterprise. When I click on a favorite folder (left hand pane) in a My Computer window, it opens into a new window even though I have the folder options set to "open each folder in the same window". Is there anyway to change this?

"Love it when people suggest conflicting things on forums...
These things are all claimed to solve your problem!

Suggestion 1:

Have a look at this registry key and
check that it says: None

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell

Suggestion 2:

My Fix:

open ""regedit"" (Start/Run...)

go to

""HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell""
and change the (Default) field to
""open"" (without the quotes)

Ready!

Suggestion 3:

1- open the registry editor (Winkey+R
and type in ""regedit"")

2- Navigate to
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-3831040691-3390046849-3855596486-1000\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\

3- Find the ""Explorer"" key and delete
it, it will be then recreated.

4- Reboot

** Please keep you should always back up
your registry before you make registry
edits. Also, this is something I found
through a Google search and although
people have reported it works for them
I can't be sure as I haven't tried it.**
