Can't change a default - how?
I can't figure out how to change a default on double-
clicking a sub-folder (not a file) when looking at a folder view listing. Right now "search" is the default. If I right-click, I get "open" as a choice, but I can't get it back to being the default value. I've looked in Folder Options for both "file folder" and "folder", but for "folder" I've made it the default and for "file Folder" it's not listed. Anyway, after a reboot, Search is still the default. I have an XP Home system, NO SP1. |
