Double-click search

[Randy]

When ever I Dbl click on an Icon or file I get the search
window. If I right click the first choice on the menu
is "search" not "Open". This started a few days ago. I
checked my mouse options and found nothing usual. Check
folder options and many other places for a setting that
might have changed and I am stumped and frustated.

Hi Randy,

This happens only to folders, not files.

Type in Start Run
regsvr32 /i shell32
