Mouse Clicking

I have a little problem. When I go to double click a
folder or drive, it opens up into either Backup or
Search. When I go to right click, the open command is
either the second or third down in the list, and not the
top. How do I correct this problem? Thanks

With credit to MVP Alex Nichol:

Go to Start>Run and type "regedit" without the quotes and press Enter.
Find this key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell

and in the right pane double click on (Default) and enter the explicit
four characters "none" without the quotes.

Repeat at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell

Be careful while working in the Registry.
