Hi Larry,

Go to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 /i shell32

If that doesn't correct the issue (and it should) use this automated edit:

Search or CMD Opens When Double Clicking a Folder or Drive (Line 18)

To use the VBS File: Download .vbs file and save it to your hard drive (you
may want to right click and use Save Target As). Double-click the vbs file.
You will be prompted when the script is done.

It is because you're computer is dead and you are in
mourning.

This morning when the Sun come up [I know, the Earth rotates
and the Sun comes into view]

Your computer problem seems strange but I suspect a virus
has rewritten parts of your registry, suggest a scan of the
system and perhaps run sfc /scannow to restore the corrupted
files.
