Windows Desktop Search question

[Dana]

Hi. I can't find a Kb article on this.

In Windows Explorer (xp spy), when I click on a folder to open the folder,
Windows Search opens instead.
I'm not sure when this terrible behavior started to happen.
Does anyone know how to turn this off.
I want to click on a folder, and just open the folder like its suppose to.
Thanks in advance.

Click Start | Run and type or copy/paste this command:
regsvr32 /i shell32.dll
Click OK

Thank you both, Rock & Ron, for your help.
Works Great!
For some reason, I had a hard time web searching for a solution.

Thanks a million. :>)
