Everytime I double-click on one of my Hard Drives in My
Computer, instead of opening it, it pops up the search
window. How do I fix this? Thanks

This may need a registry change.
Start registry editor
Locate the default value under the following key in the registry
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
Click modify on the edit menu
Type 'none' (no quotes) in the file data box and then click OK.
Quit registry editor.

Hi...
Open My Computer - Tools - Folder Options -
File Types (tab) - (click) Drive - Advanced (button) -
click to highlight 'open' - click Set Default (button) -
Ok...Close.
