I can't change the default behaviors of the way my file folders op

[Guest]

It used to be that when I double clicked on any file folder it would open and
I could just see the contents. Now every time I double click on any file
folder, it pulls up the search companion. Can anybody tell me how to change
the default behavior back so it just opens instead of going into search mode
of that folder? I noticed that if I right click at the top of the list in
bold is "Search", then it goes on down to explore and open. If you right
click the file folder and left click open is the way it used to work. It
seems tedious using that method. Any help would be appreciated. My platform
is Windows XP Home SP2.
