Files not visible

[Guest]

When I click a folder to open it, my files do not show until I click the
search button.
I would like the files to show when I open the folder.

It used to work that way but no more.

Running windows xp home SP2.

Search opens when double clicking a folder. See Line #18

What type of files?

Go to Start, Control Panel, Folder Options, View, Advanced Settings and
verify that the box before "Show hidden files and folders" is checked
and "Hide protected operating system files " is unchecked. You may need
to scroll down to see the second item. You should also make certain that
the box before "Hide extensions for known file types" is not checked.
Next in Windows Explorer make sure View, Details is selected and then
select View, Choose Details and check before Name, Type, Total Size, and
Free Space.
