Explore vs Open

I much prefer browsing my windows with the folders open on one side, and the contents of the selected folder highlighted on the other side. I can get to this view by right-clicking and choosing Explore instead of just double-clicking on in to Open it, but is there any way I can change the default view to Explore when I double-click? This is driving me crazy having to reset me views every time I open a new folder. I have gone through every setting I can think of, and nothing seems to work.

 

Thanks!!

    From windows explorer if you go into Tools > Folder Options > File Types sort the list by files type and find Folder( not File Folder) the extension will be N/A, click on the advanced button and change the default action to explore instead of open.

    When I right click a folder and pick Open, it has exactly the same effect if I right click and pick Explore. I wonder why.
