Double Click on folder open the "Search"

[Guest]

If a double click to open a folder or select certain folder and press enter
it will open the Search window instead the Explorer of the folder that I've
clicked on it. If I do the same thing in a file, it opens properly. Just with
any folder being anywhere. Any ideas on how to have that fixed?

I really appreciate any help...

thanks

Start - Run regedit.exe

Open to
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
and in the right pane, double click on (Default) and enter the exact
four characters
none

Repeat at
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell
