Hello I need some help. Im running Windows XP Home and If I select Start, My
Computer, and select one of my hard drives which I have a C-drive and a
J-Drive it no longer opens it up so I can see my folders in that drive
instead it opens up a search window the same window as if I selected Start,
then Search just above Run. I can view my drives folders If i select Start,
Explore ect. that way works fine. What can I do to fix this?

There isn't any way for me to know what you did. However, if you want to
know what most professionals (like me) think about registry cleaners
and the like, do a Google Groups Advanced Search in this newsgroup
(microsoft.public.windowsxp.general) for "registry cleaners" and read
the multitude of posts. Short answer: if you don't know how to
hand-edit the registry, stay out of it.

But that's just my opinion.
