open folder failure

[Snuffy]

When I download anything it fails to open from the popup .... I can open by manually moving to the folder and it opens .

Are you using Firefox, try IE and see if you have same problem...or vice-versa... 

[Snuffy]

will try that, I have Opera and FF also installed.  Normally use IE.
Have also uninstalled FLASH and reinstalled.... was told that would also fix the problem....
Now to test ---
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
what was changed: 1.) uninstall Flash  and reinstall Flash
2.)  Open Regedit.exe and navigate to:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell
In the right pane, set the value of (default) to explore
---------------------------------------------------------
both were done..... DL'd the same small program from MediaFile.... at this time both browsers open the file from Browser page, both browsers will move you directly to Directory where DL was saved. (UGH to my dismay FF is actually faster -->>)
