sounds like something could have edited the registry and changed the target

I knew I read somewhere about this problem. It does seem like the problem is your registry got all screwy. I had the same problem when I tried to make a new right click "make new folder using today's date" opition. That might not be what screwed your registry up, but the steps you find here should fix the problem anyways....remember to always back up your registry before fiddling with it.
