Opening folder into Search window

[Mark]

When opening a folder I am automatically routed to
the "search" window (Start-Search). The name of the
folder I'm opening does show in the "Look In" box and I
have to press search to retrieve what's in that file.I
just want to double click and open the folder to view the
contents.

Clicking a Folder.

Mark, if you look at the "Search" button in the toolbar of your window, is
the button activated? Can you click it OFF?
If you can, then:

click Tools
Folder Options
View tab
click "Apply to all folders"
Apply
OK
OK
