Hello all,
recently i adjusted something in my folders-file type- option.
i don't know what i did to all the folders, but now when i try to open any folder the search window comes up(the one with the wizard looking in his globe).

Please can someone help me to get folders back to just opening as normal.

it started off as i was looking to see why i could not send an e-mail -with the option of resizing- directly from "my pictures" folder..

many thanks
gemma

The same thing happened to me when I did the following:

I just read the Print Directory article again now. Now it says:

After you follow the steps in the previous sections, Search Companion may start when you double-click a folder instead of the folder being opened. Or, if you have associated other actions with file folders, those actions may be performed instead.

And gives Registry corrections that are needed.
