i like the reg.
this one of the few UI improvements in vista (vs xp), imo
i like the full treeview explorer. just change last value to:
@=”\”explorer.exe\” /e, /select,\”%1\”"

Frankly, though I tried this out of curiosity dint find it much useful. So far I haven’t encountered many cases where I needed open an application shortcut folder.

Thank you. The .reg file worked exactly as the Vista option does. I’ve been looking for a way to do this in XP for a while. It really is a time saver!

Thank you again!
