Opening folders

XP SR2

Have (what is to me) an unusual problem in opening folder.
In Explorer, if I expand My Computer, I get a list of drives under My
Computer. Highlighting any of these drives gives me a list of folders
in the right pane.
If I highlight any folder on the right and hit ENTER, I get what appears
to be a cmd prompt screen for 1-2 seconds which then disappears - but
the folder does not open.
If I double-click any folder on the right, I get what appears to be a
cmd prompt screen for 1-2 seconds which then disappears - but the folder
does not open.
BUT, If I right-click any folder on the right and select OPEN, the
folder opens as it should.
Any file I right-click in the right pane opens as it should. Only
problem is the folders.
How do I resolve this?
