Too many folders opening

[idontno]

Me again,

Ever since my HDD crashed and I got a new one and installed Win XP PRO SP2 back on it, every time I double click on a folder a new window pops up. If I have a lot of folders to go thru to get where I want to go, I have a whole desktop full of windows.

I've went to tools/folder options in explorer and it is set to open each folder in the same window. I went to folder options in control panel and it's set the same.

So why isn't windows listening to what it's told to do?

Click on my computer--Then go to tools-Then go to folder options--You should be able to set the options you want by selecting--Open each folder in the same window.

Is this what you have already tried?

Do you have single click selected in windows explorer tools folder options ?

No, it's set for double click.

Can you swap mice and try?

I'm using the same mouse I was using before my HDD crashed and I had to get a new one. So, everything is installed fresh now.
