Search opens when double clicking a folder. See Line #18

This is a real common problem.

Try this first.

Click Start | Click Run | Type or paste the following line:

regsvr32 /i shell32

Click OK.

A tip from David Candy.

If that doesn't fix it, see these...

A few thoughts:

Try the double-click test in the Control Panel, Mouse applet. Does the
double-click work there?

If you right-click the shortcut/folder you tried to double-click, what
option is in bold? If none, the associations for that filetype need to
be fixed. Fix File Associations.
