How to make My Computer open the C:\drive on a mouse-click
Asked by LauriePrior in Windows XP Operating System
Tags: xp, computer
Double clicking C:drive in My Computer won't open the C drive tree. Instead you have to right-click and choose OPEN.
If I go to Tools Folder Options File Types and choose DRIVE from the list and then Advanced I find that the EDIT button is greyed out. I wanted to choose EDIT so I could ask it to Open with C:\windows\explorer.exe and hopefully cure it of this ill. But with the button greyed out I have no idea what to do to switch this facility permanently back on. Windows Explorer doesn't have this problem. It's only My Computer.
After looking at the Greyed out button and selecting OPEN and then not changing anything then closing out - the My computer is suddenly cured of the problem until you next reboot then it reverts back to needing a Right Click and choosing open from the menu which is annoying to say the least. Any cures - I tried the Windows HKEY Classes Root Directory\shell as "none" but in fact there was no directory\shell in there so couldn't change anything.
It seems a very silly problem for XP and never I never had this problem in windows 98.
Any help gratefully received. Loadsa points for this one.
