Programs are starting with search window

[Guest]

When I click on My Music, My Documents, or My Pictures, it displays the
search window. When I right-mouse click on these the Search option is bold
and first in the list of options. I can open them correctly if I right-mouse
click and click Open. It was working correctly previously. TIA.

Thanx, Patti. It's on my PC at home. I will let you know tomorrow if it
works.
