search opens instead of explorer

[christopher]

hi everyone, I have a REALLY annoying problem....
whenever I click on a folder or drive the search folder
opens instead of just opening a folder for the thing.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Start - Run - Regedit.exe. Open the left pane, explorer style, to
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
highlight it, and in the right pane double click Default and enter the
exact four character word
none

Repeat at
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell
and
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell
