I'm trying to add shortcuts to folders in "My Computer". This .reg almost works, I can execute programs like EXPLORE.exe, but I want to open a folder in the same window.

Can someone please point out how?

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001}]
@="SkyDrive"
"InfoTip"="Folder Shortcuts"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001}\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\Users\\Carlos\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\SkyDrive\\SkyDrive.exe,0"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001}\Shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001}\Shell\Open]
@=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001}\Shell\Open\Command]
@="C:\\Users\\Carlos\\SkyDrive"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001}]
@="SkyDrive"
