folders not opening

[Guest]

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.

The 'Reset all folders' setting does not apply in this case..

Glad to be of help.
