Hi guys!

I double click "Local Disk c:\" in "My Computer" and it opens "find" instead of opening the disk's contents..

Why is that ?

Is there anyway to restore its right use ?

Sorry for my English... :P

Search Companion Starts If You Double-Click a Folder(or a drive)

If you do not like messing with Registry, try this--
Click Start, then RUN, then type
regsvr32 /i shell32
Note the space between 2 and /, & i and s
