***********************************************************

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.
