search opens when double clicking a folder

J

Joe Magiera

When I double click on a folder, instead of getting a
list of files in that folder, WindowsXP is starting
Search. This just started, and I haven't changed any
settings (that I know of). How can I correct this?

I posted in another Microsoft newsgroup, and it was
suggested to try the fix found here:

"Search opens when double clicking a folder" (#18)

which I tried, I got a successful install message, but it
didn't correct the problem. Anyone, please help! (I
know I can right click and then click explore, but what a
pain, and other family users of the PC don't know how to
do that). Thanks,

Joe
