Opening Programs

[Guest]

Used to be when I clicked on a Program it automatically opened that program.
Now, when I click on certain programs my computer open the "Search" field.
How do I go back to automatically opening a program when I click on it
instead of getting the Search field? Thanks.

This comes from dabbling within the folder properties, via File Types. To
correct:

Go to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 /i shell32
