I used to be able to double left click on the C: icon in the mycomputer window and it would open the c drive for viewing. Now when I do it it opens a search window. how do I go back?

When you double click MyComputer and it opens the window, do you see two buttons?
One is Search and one is folder?
If so then click Folder.
This takes you to the folder view.
Then the next time you double click it should open in this view.

Go to Windows registry (Start--Run--type in "regedit" without the quotes).
Navigate to the following registry key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\Shell

Double-click Default key in the right window pane and change the value to "None" (no quotes)
Save and Restart Windows.

And as always, backup the registry before changing anything.
