Solved Default double click option in My Computer

This is actually a question about Win 7, but I'm fairly sure it works the same way in Vista.

When you open my computer and double-click on something, (say a game CD) the default action is always to run an installer or setup or something. I want to change it so that instead, it opens the CD and let's me browse the files. I'm not talking about AutoPlay, I don't want that annoying popup every time I put something in. I just want it to Open instead of Run when I double click it, it's annoying to have to do a Right Click > Open each time. I know on my Vista machine it does this, but I can't remember if I did something to set it up like that or not, or what I did to set it up if I did. Anyone know how? Thanks

Hello Adam,

I haven't test this yet for this purpose, but you might see if it may apply to it as well.

Hmm do I need to restart for it to take effect?

Yep, I'm afraid so (step 6).

Thanks. Seems to have work. Although in hindsight, I never actually tried the double click, I just right clicked and say the first bold option was run the installer, and assumed that's what it would do if I double clicked it. After applying those reg files, it still has that bolded in the right click menu, but it opens with double click.

Either way, problem solved. thanks.

You're most welcome Adam. I'm happy to hear that it worked for you.
