can stop searching

[Jim]

I went into Control Panel and Folder options to change
the icons on my file extensions. And somehow I changed
the defult setting of the "folders" and "subfolders" to :
find instead of : open. Now when I double click any
folder the search window opens with that dog. How do i
change the settings back to open?
