How do you remove an "association" on folders
I have a recent problem whereby when I double-click on a folder to open it, windows 7 professional popsup a dialogue box saying the file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action .......
It seems that some setting has been altered/corrupted ... how can this be corrected?
Note: If I right click and use the "open" i do get into the folder.

start > Control Panel
select programs (if not listed change the filter to category)
Select "make a file type always open in a different program"
once the list is populated you can adjust whatever you need to.

FOR WINDOWS 7
go to control panel -> all control panel items -> default programs
