Folders Acting Strange

I recently uninstalled a program called alienguise in an attempt to edit how what icons represent folders and such things in my windows config manually instead of through a program. However ever since i uninstalled the program, every time I open up a folder, it will bring up the search option immediately, displaying none of the contents that are actually in the folder. If i search for what i want it will come up, yet this is obviously not normal operating behavior.

Just wondering how I can correct this problem.

Thanks in advance for the help.

It may not apply directly to you, but the idea is the same.

Thank you so much, you are the man.

I figured since I'm already posting this thank you I'd just ask another question, but I'll be sure to search for the answer right after this post.

When I go to the advanced options for generic folders, the "Change Icon..." button is not able to be clicked and I'm wonder what needs to be edited for that to be enabled.

And i'm off to search for that. Thanks to anybody who helps me find the answer before I find it. =)

It's easier to ResHack the shell32.dll file to change the default icon for generic folders.

Here's some threads that might help you out:
