Folders open in new window I don't want them to!

I'm getting quite frustrated with browsing my documents folders. Every time I click to open a folder it opens in a new window which irritates me a lot.

I have checked control panel > folder options which is set to same window and even clicked to reset to default. If I right click on a folder 'explore' is in bold which I thought meant it was the default option. If I click 'organise' and navigate to folder options that way everything is as it should be.

This has only been happening today and all I can think is that it is IE8. I installed it yesterday before I went to bed...

Not had the problem with IE8 mate, either on the RC or the full version. Try uninstalling IE8 and see if it makes a difference.

System restore to point to pre-IE8 install has fixed it. Nothing else is shown to have been installed since so I shall blame it on the browser.
