- Start Menu > Open/Explore folder results in Copy/Move folder actio
- Posted by Tristan Young on May 18th, 2006
When I try to open or explore any folder via...
Start->All Programs->*foldername*->Right-Click:Open/Explore
The following occurs (in this order)
1. A "Move Items" dialog window opens up. I click <Cancel>.
2. A "Copy Items" dialog window opens up. I click <Cancel>.
3. Finally the folder opens up correctly.
Does anyone know how this can be fixed?

You're exploring the start menus. I can't duplicate your problem on this pc.
I think you'd have a lot simpler time if you just used Windows Explorer.

Thank you! That fixed the problem. I knew it had to be something simple,
and I had no idea which keys were responsible. I was searching in the right
registry hive last night at least 
Thank you!
