MY Computer options

[Guest]

When I open my computer and right click on any of the drives, the first
option is Search instead of Open. I can not just double click cause it will
always go to Search window. This is what happens when inserting a Data DVD
or Cd as well.

Everything else outside of of this works fine when you double click it opens
it.

Does anyone have suggestions to make Open the Top Option.

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

First create a restore point with System Restore or Run regedit and Export
your registry to a reg file. This is for protection in case of the unlikely
event of a undesirable outcome. Then copy the following into Notepad,
omitting the start and end lines but NOT omitting the blank line at the
bottom. Save it as fixdrive.reg. Double-click fixdrive.reg and say Yes to
import it into the registry.

You have made my day. I have been working with this problem for over a year.
Back then when I asked the question someone gave me a way to do it outside
a Microsoft site and felt uneasy of doing it.

Again Thanks a whole bunch.

That probably applies to my response :>) Glad you got it solved.
