In my computer by double clicking left button, the search window opens instead of opening the file.
I have Windows XP system with P$ 1.7 Ghz pc

It is likely that your system has been infected by a virus or spy-ware that took over the file extension handler for executable files.
Start by running a good anti-virus package.
Next, boot from your XP CD.
What you want to do, is perform an installation repair.
We didn't have a lot of luck with this when my son's computer developed similar symptoms.
We ended up starting over from scratch.
His problems started when he used a few 3rd party XP startup screen programs, and aborted some software installs in the middle.
