my friend asked me this, I have no idea

How do I make it so that when I double-click a folder it doesn't "open" the folder, but instead "explores" the folder? (When you right click a folder, it has Explore at the top and is bold, instead of Open)
 
Is there a way to make it so it's always like that? He doesn't want to have to press it every time. (yeah)
 
He could always open windows explorer (in accessories on the start menu) instead of my computer.

*Edit: I'm an idiot, you meant when you first click a folder.
 
Open Windows Explorer | Tools | Folder Options | "File Types" tab | Highlight Folder (not File Folder)... it's near the top | "Advanced" button | Click explore --> Set Default.
