Solve : Can't Delete File Type Action (Probably an Easy Fix but I'm stumped)?

Answer»

Ok. Here's my problem:

In Windows XP in Explorer go to Tools>Folder Options>File Types>Select "File Folder">Then click "Advanced"
Now you are where I am at.

What I have done is entered a new action for "File Folder" when I meant to enter the action for just "Folder". Unfortunately, I am UNABLE to remove the action I entered. There are SEVERAL actions that I am unable to remove.  How can I remove them?

The action I created is titled "Create File Listing" and I want to remove it but it does not allow me as the "remove" button is grayed out. Can SOMEONE please show me how to remove this action?

THANK you

[attachment deleted by admin]System Restore?Seems like that the answer to everything. When in doubt, reverse everything because no one knows how to do anything in the registry. But no. It takes a little more experience to fix the issue.

After finding a place with geekier people, I have since fixed the problem myself.

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell] was set to "OPEN" or "FIND" and you can't change it in the actions list. So you have to edit the registry.  All I had to do was replace the Value Data with "NONE"
