nitrous123, Here's a very easy fix for your problem.

Click Start>Run and copy and paste or type in:

regsvr32 /i shell32

Click OK.

Note that the spacing is important.

nitrous123, Which fix did you use? The fix that Squashman provided a link for and the fix I posted both would fix the problem with double clicking on a folder or a drive opens the Search or Command window. As far as various file association fixes the link below provides fixes.
