First! This is Windows Explorer not Internet Explorer.

When I go to Start-My computer. I go to My Computer and see the Drives, removable storage etc. Click on (actually double click) on c Drive and I go to the Directory on C showing the sub-directories and files located there. When I click on a folder, I go straight to search. If i click search without a parameter I get the entire subdirectory listed but I am in a search folder. There is no path showing on top.

Finally I have searched everywhere for windows explorer and the first 500 listing is for Internet Explorer - even her on tech Republic. MS Knowledgebase - same-same.

Is register corrupt?

You're also on the Discussions side of TR. You may have better luck getting help by posting to the Questions side of TR. You had two choices, "Start a Discussion/Ask a question".

Edit the registry (type Regedit in the run box).

Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
in the Shell key is a value named Default. Right-click on Default and select Modify. Edit the data to "none", without the quotes.
