'open folders in same window' won't work

Using XP Pro I can select to 'open each folder in the same window' in the Tools>Folder Options but it doesn't work.
Is there a setting somewhere else that overrides this choice? I have TweakUI installed but I don't see that as having a choice that would have done this...

Maybe I'm just crazy but I swear I thought that I used to be able to open a folder and within that folder open another etc. etc. so when I finally got to what I was looking for I would only have one folder to close to be back to the desktop.

Works fine for me. That should have done it.

Found the solution (Google is the best!)

Go to [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell]
>The Data probably says "explore". Change it to "none" (Right click on "(Default)",
>click "modify"...)

Hope I didn't screw up something else in the process, regedit and I get along like Hillary Clinton and Rush Limbaugh
