Double click folder goes to search mode

[David Alves]

Good day everyone!

I have problems with my windows XP Pro service pack 3. Every time that I
open a folder windows will go straight to search mode and not to
open/explore mode. I thought it was a question of settings with explorer or
folder's properties but I cannot find them or maybe I clicked the wrong
settings. At worst is it a virus problems (most unlikely! I guess)??

Please do not waste your time and mine with some vague answers.........be
specific!!!!....thanks in advance
