Problem opening folders

Whe I save something as a Word or Word Perfect 10 document into a folder, if
I double-click on the document, it opens. However, when I double-click on the
folder, the 'Search' screen opens. If I right-click the folder, I see that
'search' is listed first, and 'open' second. I don't know how this happened.
Up until about 6 weeks ago, any time I double-clicked a folder, it opened.
Any suggestions?
Please try to keep instructions simple; I'm pretty new at this.

WOW!! Thank you VERY much. As you can imagine, tinkering with the registry
scares me. Your instructions were simple and fixed my problem. THANKS
