Symptom
If you double-click a drive or folder, Search Companion may start and the
drive or folder may not open. 'Search' will be the top most in the
right-click context menu for a folder or drive. This usually happens after
adding/modifying the File Folder or Drive entries via the Folder Options File
Types dialog, as an attempt to add additional context menu items such as
Command Prompt here, Print Directory for folders or drives.
