Hi,

i have changed how folders are open by accident. When i open a folder it is
defultly using search, so it just brings up the search window. to actually
open the folder i need to right click then select open/explore. I think i
deleted the action for the folder in the control panel/folder options dialog.

Any ideas how to create a new action? i don't know what program to browse for.

Thanks,

Richard
