    LightBulb help Ive screwed up explorer.exe settings

    Can anyone tell me the default settings for the file explorer in the registry so that i can restore them to default. I used another file explorer and set that one to default, now having removed it when i double click on a drive icon on the desktop it doesnt open unless i right click it and choose explore.
    anyone know the default settings and can copy the settings for me or a link for me to follow??

    found a solution

    You type in the run box (start\run)
    regsvr32 /i shell32.dll
    got things working properly again.
