VLC player opens after opening a folder [ Solved /Closed] *********************************************************** Hello, I am using windows XP and I have tried many forums with no help everytime I try to open up a folder or file all I get is the vlc player starting ,I have tried Combofix but it won't accept registration? It has been a week now and I 'm losing my mind, Any help PLEASE! Click on Start ---> Run --->type regedt32 and click on OK. Registry editor will be opened. Navigate to this location. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory now click on "Shell" At the right side, there will be a file "Default" . Its value should be none. If it is not set to none, then double click on default and type none and click on OK.
