double clicking on folder opens search window

[Guest]

Every time I attempt to open a folder through windows explorer by double clicking, it instead opens a search window prompting me to search within the folder I just double clicked on. I am still able to open folders by right clicking on them and scrolling down to open. Have I somehow changed the default action to perform when double clicking a folder? If so, how do I change it back?
