I've recently encountered an irritating problem with Windows Explorer,
whenever I open up for example 'My Documents' the view is normal but if I
then click on one of the folders to display the contents the search window
opens.
I can prevent this from happening by clicking on the Folders button and then
making sure that I only select items in the left hand window but if I click
on a folder in the right pane the search window opens again.
This is particularly irritating as I have shortcuts on my desktop to folders
which I use regularly and these open straight up into the search window
thereby rendering the shortcut as effectively useless.
I have tried using Tools/Options etc but without success. First noticed the
problem about a month ago shortly after installing an update but can't be
sure that the two things are connected.
Any help would be much appreciated.
