Hi.
When I right-click on a folder in My computer(WIndows XP SP1a) a menu apear
and the top 3 options you usually get is "Open", "Explore" and "search".
"Open" is normaly set on default, so that when you doubble click on a folder
it opens. On my system "Search" is set as default and when I double click on
a folder, a search window open. How do I change the default option back to
"Open"?
Please help, it's very irretating.
thanks

This happens if you alter the 'File Folder' context entries in the 'File
Types' dialog.
