one note opens all folders

[Claire]

For a couple of weeks now onenote opens all the folders on my computer as the
default. I just want it to do the 'explore' option as normal.

It only opens folders in onenote, not the documents or other file types
contained within them, they open as normal.

I've tried to reset the defaults for folders through control panel with no
success.

I've read you can delete a key in the registry to fix this but I'm not sure
about doing this. My computer runs vista and onenote 2007. I'm not sure
what's caused the problem, my computer's aniti-virus Kaspersky got rid of
three viruses a while ago (cheers flatmate) and I downloaded some things
recently like smilebox for making e-cards, some google desktop features and
ultrafile search.

I'd really appreciate any help as this folder/onenote thing is really
irritating.

Cheers,
Claire

Look for the "File Association Fix" for "Folder" on

http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/105/1/File-association-fixes-for-Windows-Vista.html

The direct link is:

Follow the Usage instructions.

Download the zip file and "execute" the .reg file it contains.

It's for XP but I think it will work on Vista as well.
