Opening folders

[Dave Mills]

For some starnge reason my PC has started opening the Search program when I
double click any folder icons. It used to just open the folder to show what
is inside, which is what I want it to do.
And when I right click on a folder, Search is at the top of the list rather
than Open.
How do I fix this so that double clicking actually opens the folder rather
than launch the Search program?

Hi,

Type the following commands in the Start>Run box

cmd /c REG ADD "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\Shell" /ve /d none
and
cmd /c REG ADD "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Shell" /ve /d none
