I have the same issue. One random day…Instead of opening a file to view contents the search option opens. I have to right click and choose open or explore. One more mouse click-what a pain! I’m exhausted. If you find an answer let me know..
Thanks.

Drive and File Fix?

In reply to Folder Option in Windows XP

For the drive; open a cmdprompt (or Run) and type – regsvr32 /i shell32.dll

For the file issue open regedit and navigate to this key
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
Double-click on the default value and set it to “none” without the quotes

First step completed successfully.

Second step was not.
After HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
my choices are:
ACDBRowse with subfolder command

Next folder is: find/command
find/ddeexec/application
find/ddeexec/topic

The word none does not appear when any of these are chosen.

Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.

On the Shell folder …

itself, there should be nothing except under Name “default” under Type “Reg_SZ” and under Data “none”
Double click (or Right click nd choose Modify) In the Edit String Box, change the “Value Data” to none

I’ll try it

In reply to On the Shell folder …

I’ll try this tomm. and post back when I can. Thanks again for sticking with me.
