i was changing the icons on the folder options. now,
every time i double click a folder, it opens a search
window for the folder instead of actually opening the
folder.

basicly, i double click the folder. the result is what
would happen if i right clicked the same folder and
selected "search...". "search..." is currently the
default of opening the folder... My question is How Do I
Change It Back?

here is a link to a pic of it:

it only has "find"
on folder options > file types > file folder > advanced,

on folder options > file types > folder > advanced, it

(E-Mail Removed) because i dont kno if i will
be able to find this again. once again, ThAnX
