Folder opening in new window

[vibhor_agarwalin]

Hi,

Whenever i double click a folder it opens in a new window.

I want it to open in the same window.

I have checked
Tools->General->Browse Folders
     Its "Opne each folder in the same window"

Is  there something else i need to do?

Try tagging the other option instead. See what happens.

After you selected open in same window did you click apply then ok?

[vibhor_agarwalin]

Yup,

I tried both the things.

I have even rebooted the system a hundred times after that.

[Fed]

Tools>Folder Options>View> untick Launch folder windows in a separate process check box.

[vibhor_agarwalin]

I have done that also.

No effect.

[Fed]

Re the above...

Tools>Folder Options>View> untick Launch folder windows in a separate process check box.

The next line...
Remember each folder's view settings.... untick?

Just for a moment i was going to scream Yahoooo!

I thought this might be the case because it was checked.


But .....
Nothing happened.

Same screen, same ticks & nonticks, then reset all folders to the same view.

[vibhor_agarwalin]

Did,

No effect.
I think i have to do something via registry.

[Fed]

I think you just have to get the right sequence of ticks, non-ticks, remembering view settings and resetting all folders happening.
Take a deep breath & re-attack.

Maybe go through the same screens & restore defaults & work from there.

[vibhor_agarwalin]

I don't think so.

It should be it if you don't restart.
But if you ultimately restart your system, then the order doesn't matters.

By default, each folder you open appears in the same window and overwrites the previous window contents. To return to this setting, click Open each folder in the same window.

Do you have Admin rights?

[vibhor_agarwalin]

Yes

One more piece to the puzzle...
'Like Current Folder' in the folder options 'View' tab.
Nearly time for bed here, if you haven't got it sorted by morning we should recap & list all the possible options we now have listed.
The answer is in the options, it's just windows crazy convoluted way of laying things out.
Press enter to exit stuff.
