Windows Explorer behavior

[Stephen Green]

When exploring my hard drive with Windows Explorer, I used to be able to
double click a folder name in the right pane to open it and view the
contents. Now, however, double clicking the folder name in the right pane
opens a search window.

Clicking the folder name in the left window works as it should.

Can I fix this?

Hi Stephen,

Common issue, easy fix thanks to David Candy:
Go to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 /i shell32
