Right click in explorer

[Steve]

Hi,

This may be a simple one but it has got me. When i right
click on a folder in windows explorer, the "Search" option
is the default (bold) at the top. hence, when you double
click on a folder, it opens a search window and not the
folder. this is obviously not the required action. Can
anyone help to restore the list to its default settings???

Many thanks,

Steve
