New Windows

[Guest]

Hi

I don't know how I did it but my computer suddenly started trying to
"search" when clicking on a shortcut i.e. My Documents (desktop shortcut)
would open up the "Search Files & Folders" window. I have managed to change
that back to actually opening up the desired location but trying to open a
file within that location results in all opening in new windows rather than
in the same window. I have checked the folder options and this is set to
"open in same window" but it doesn't seem to be following that command. I
usually end up with a dozen or so "new windows" open and it is getting really
annoying!!

I would appreciate some advice on getting things to how they should be.
