Hello-- Out of the blue, the folders on my desktop are set to "search" when I double click them. When I right-click, I can see that "search" is first, and "open" is second. How can I change this back so when I double click, my folders open? It's driving me crazy! Many thanks, sd |

that's funny.... I came here to post this exact same problem... I don't know what to do to solve it... everytime I double click a folder, it opens the search dialog box... does anyone knows if this can be changed in registry or something? thanks antonio "razor" wrote: > Hello-- > > Out of the blue, the folders on my desktop are set to "search" when I double > click them.

What are the odds??? I too have the same problem I posted after you with the File Folder subject... Does your address bar work on the bottom task bar??? Mine doesn't... I notice the word search in bold letters with the word open all the way on the bottom when I right click also...

I tried the run command and it gave me an error cant locate file.... Then I tried the regedit and it didn't solve the problem...
