"MY COMPUTER / SEARCH WINDOW"

[Mike]

I am having the same problem,
when I click a folder, I have to right click my mouse to
select open, or it will search instead.
I really hope to find the same answer.
I will let you know if I find out, and I would appreciate
it if you will do the same.
because it is very annoying
