Hi Charles,
After some research, I propose you do this:
- Launch Regedit.exe
- Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{52205fd8-5dfb-447d-801a-d0b52f2e83e1}
- Delete the key
When done, re-execute the .reg script you created based on the initial post of this thread.
My assumption is that the “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{52205fd8-5dfb-447d-801a-d0b52f2e83e1}\shell\open” still refers to the default behaviour (File Explorer) and is executed prior to falling back on the “opennewwindow” key. By resetting the whole CLSID 52205fd8-5dfb-447d-801a-d0b52f2e83e1, we can start on a clean base.
If this doesn’t work, I must confess I don’t have any other idea 😶
