folders not opening
Someone in my family has been messing around with the settings on the PC. I
have win XP pro. If you click on the hard drive, it instead opens a search window to search that drive. No matter what subfolders you click on, it opens each one in a new window. I have tried to 'reset all folders' in the folder options, but that's not working. It's like things have been rerouted. Help! I just want it back to how it was.... Where clicking on the C drive let me view the drive's contents, etc.

Hi the
"Windows launches Search Companion window when opening any folder" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555439/en-us The 'Reset all folders' setting does not apply in this case..
