When I double click C: within the My Computer folder, or single click my C: short cut on the task bar, the next directory DOES NOT not open ... instead ... the windows "Search For Files & Folders" box opens. However, if I right click, choose open, the directory DOES open. When I right click, the 1st item on the pop up box is SEARCH, the next item is OPEN. Once inside any directory, all double clicking works fine. Please help, it's annoying.

Benjamin L, That's a easy one to fix.


Go to Start/Run and type in:

regsvr32 /i shell32

Click OK.

Note that the spacing is important.


If that doesn't correct the issue use this automated edit:

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

Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it and answer yes to the import prompt.
