Folder Options: File Types - Setting Actions for

External Since: Jul 16, 2006 Posts: 1

I changed the icon for the File Type "File Folder" in Control Panel. This
changed the Actions that the file type takes. Now when I go into Explorer
and try to view the contents of folders it will not show them. For some
reason I can not remove any of the Actions. Does anyone know what the
default Actions should be for File Folder?
