I was editing the icons on my computer and I somehow managed to change the menu when you right click on a folder (please see picture). Now whenever I double click on a folder, it searches rather than opens :\

how you do that will depend on the version of Windows you're running, so please enlighten us and we may enlighten you.

As a general rule it's in the same rough areas as where you set the file associations.

or doesn't work, and don't forget to assign a thumb to the helpful ones. Next time I open my sons XP systems I'll look at this and write down the directions just in case Jacky's answer doesn't help.

Open an Explore or My Computer window.

On the menu Tools | Folder Options

Click on the File Types tab

Select Folder from the list. (not File Folder, not sure what the difference is)

Click on the Advanced button near the bottom.

Select the desired action from the list of options and click on Set Default.

Open is usually default. I always change it to Explore. This causes windows to open all folders in an explorer window with the folder list visible.

Click OK

Click OK

Done.
