Hi,
Is there a way to change the sequence of the entries in the folder context
menu?
When I right click on a lowest level folder the first option is SEARCH. I
would like it to be OPEN. Then double click would also open it
Thanks

Click Start/Run and type:

reg add hkcr\directory\shell /ve /d none /f

-and-

reg add hkcr\drive\shell /ve /d none /f

Alternately, to fix this manually via a registry edit:

If this problem is seen for Drives:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell
Set (default) to "none" (without ")

If this problem is seen for folders:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell]
Set (default) to "none" (without ")
