windows explorer

[Erik K]

This happened to me before I reinstalled windows xp. when
I double click a folder to open it in windows explorer,
it opens up a search queue instead; so I am forced to use
the folder tree on the left. any ideas what setting could
have caused this?

Hi Erik,

Go to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 /i shell32

If that doesn't correct the issue use this automated edit:

Search or CMD Opens When Double Clicking a Folder or Drive (Line 18)

To use the VBS File: Download .vbs file and save it to your hard drive (you
may want to right click and use Save Target As). Double-click the vbs file.
You will be prompted when the script is done.
