folders

[Guest]

When I double click a folder, it opens a "search window" instead of the
folder. I've tried changing how folders open but with no success. Any sug.

Hi,

There is a way to fix this problem!

1. Click Start
2. Click Run
3. In the run box type regedit and click OK
Now the Registry editor opens

Go to the following key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell

Click modify on the edit menu and type none in the Value data box
After that click OK.

Go to the following key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\drive\shell
Click modify on the edit menu and type none in the Value data box
After that click OK, Reboot the machine and test it!

GREETS, WOLLA
