Method 1: Change the "Explorer" settings
Often, only the operating system settings are to blame for the situation, namely the built-in "conductor".
- To go to the desired settings, open any folder through the "Explorer", click on the View tab and run "Parameters" through it.
- In the first block, install the marker opposite the "Open folders in the same window" item and save the action by the "OK" button.
Method 2: Registration DLL
The previous way does not always help: some settings are simply not used, and someone has "flies" when the computer is rebooted. Perhaps the fault of this problem with the registration of a DLL file, which is responsible for the operation of this function. You can re-log in as follows:
- Open the root disk folder to which the operating system is installed. You can switch through the "Computer" folder ("My Computer" folder) or the side menu.
- In the search bar, write "IeProxy" and click on the arrow to the right of the input field. There will be a search throughout the "local disk (C :)", where, from the list of results, select any "IeProxy.dll" In addition, which is stored in "System32" (it should not be kept there, but just in case they warn it).
- Copy it by highlighting and pressing the Ctrl + C key, or call the context menu by the right mouse button and select the "Copy" item.
- Go along the path C: \ Windows \ System32 and insert the Copied file to the CTRL + V keys either through the context menu.
- If you need to receive rights to perform an action, click "Continue".
- Now register a copied file. To do this, open the "Command Line", better with administrator rights, finding this application through the "Start".
- Dial the REGSVR32 IEPROXY.DLL command and press ENTER.
- A window should be displayed with the "Successful DillRegisterver Execution in IEProxy.dll" notification.
- Restart the computer and check how the folder opening works now. If necessary, once again fulfill the method 1.
If you did not find IeProxy.dll on your computer, refer to the method 4 or ask your friends with the same version and the discharge of Windows that you have to give you this file.
Method 3: Internet Explorer Restore
The problem under consideration for some occurs along with the Internet Explorer browser. Since this web browser is closely integrated with Windows, after it is uninstallation or damage, problems with the efficiency of some system components are completely possible.
If you downloaded the Windows assembly with remote Internet Explorer, the instruction will further be useless. It is recommended to choose an assembly without such interventions in the OS.
You can return the normal performance of the "Explorer" by restoring the remote Internet Explorer. Probably, you can help the method 1 or method 2 from the article on the link below.

Method 4: Windows Recovery
Perhaps the problems with the operating system do not allow you to restore the performance of the folder opening function. If you can not restore IE or it was not deleted at all, try to roll back Windows to the day when everything worked without problems. About how it can be done, we told in other articles.
