I was recently trying a program called ShellLess Explorer in hopes of their searching features and the fact that is was "better" then Explorer.

I got really tired of the program:
Won't work unless it starts with Windows
Won't display Control Panel
Opens every folder in a new tab, even if the same folder is already open
Doesn't refresh until you hit refresh

After trying to stop the program from auto starting, I found that regular Explorer is opening all of the folders in it's own individual window, even when
Organize - Folder and Search Options - General - Open Each Folder In The Same Window
is checked.

Anyone know how to fix this?

I would try uninstalling the program. Sounds like it's still running or something.
