Windows 10 opens every folder in new window [Fix]

Today, while i was examining my registry tweaks, i changed an registry value that made my 
windows to open every folder in new window instead of the same window or its own 
window. 

Since i changed more than 10 registries i don't know what caused it. But finally i fixed the 
problem by changing a simple option on the THIS PC properties, so right now i share it with you.
