Default Order of Right Click Drop-Down Menu Changed

[Guest]

Double left clicking on the Drive icons in My Computer will NOT open the
drive contents, but instead the Search window. If I right click on the drive
icon, the drop down menu order is "Search, Oen, Explore" with Open NOT being
the default. How do I change the order of the drop-down menu restoring Open
as the first option and the left double click default? Thank you for any
suggestions to this strange behaviour.

I didn't have a clue on how to describe this same situation that one day happened by apparently clicking and moving with 2 hands.... "???? in any event I couldn't get it to go back and today several years later...I get this wild hair to search for default drop down issues and ended up here - the solution was easy especially when I copy/dragged the run command and almost literally -it changed back.... I personally can't thank you enough for posting this in a way that I was able to find it. Wow!
