Double Left Click on Folder results in Search, not Open

[Guest]

I read an MS paper on being able to print a directory listing in XP. Thought
I had done everything right as the directory listing works.
However when I now double right click on a folder the Search screen pops up
rather than the folder opening.
Folder can be opened by left click/open from the pop-up menu but it is
irritating me.
Any ideas how to change back to the default action?

Sorry for the inconvenience. See that I'm not the only Bunny to have faced
this problem.
Didn't run a search initially as I thought I had messed up the registry
somehow but now appears that it's a fairly common fault.
Problem solved.

Regards,

This is what you are looking for, you want to go back to the default action...

Go to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 /i shell32

If that doesn't correct the issue (and it should) use this automated edit:
