file folders open as "find" when double clicked

[zac]

i dont know how or why this changed.
when i double click a file folder the "find" command
opens.
i went into the folder options, then file types, then i
clicked file folder, and advanced, and the action listed
is "find" .
i want to remove that and make it open
im assuming that is what i need to do in order for my
folders to be back to normal. (i want a folder to open
when double clicked).
what do i do tog et it back to normal?

Or simply change the folder options...

In windows explorer:

Tools > Folder Options

Go to the File Types tab

Scroll down and select File Folders

Click Advanced

Add an Open function with the following path: C:\windows\explorer.exe

Hope this works for your situation...
