Re: Windows Explorer Always Opens In a New Window

Hi. first and probably only post, but thought I'll verify previous post
by moonlightever14.

Since a past Vista update that included IE8, my 32bit vista machine has
been working strange. Double click on folder to new window being exactly
one of them. Had done a lot of googling and regedit experimentation to
try and fix it, but no luck.

Then I read moonlightever14 post today about IE8 updates. It triggered
me to go and unstall IE8 as I already had a feeling it could be related
to that. First time I actually removed updates installed by windows
update, but did the job for me! I removed every kb-numbered patch that
was IE8 related (using the windows update history), finally uninstalled
the IE8 install patch itself. So my Vista 32bit is reverted back to IE7
and all problems including the double click issue in explorer are
solved!

Didn't have problems on my 64bit vista machine, which is now still on
IE8. Not that Vista64 users aren't affected, as I don't know what
exactly caused it :shock:

I only wonder when it is save for me to let windows update do all its
recommended updates again....

Altough a little of topic to the thread, but nice to note: Just
reverting computer back to IE7 also fixed another problem for me that I
had with Windows Media Player 11 being unable to share media. This made
me unable to watch media on my xbox 360, which was kinda annoying. I
found it was caused by Vista being unable to start the "Windows Media
Player Network Sharing-Service"

However, after removing the IE8 related updates, I was able to fix that
too
