XP Pro Help

XP Pro, "Search" opens when I double-click (and the file/folder wont open)?!?!

I have no idea what I did, but for some reason whenever I go to double-click any of my folders in my documents "search" is the first thing to pop up (it doesn't open the folder, it just pauses and opens up the search thing), and if I right-click on any of the folders "search" is bolded and at the top. Can someone tell me how to make "open" my default comand, cuz to be honist having to right-click to open folders is not very amusing or fun. Thanks for your help.

Check in the registry under the following key...

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT | Directory | shell

The (Default) String Name should have a Value data of none. To modify the value, right click (Default) and select Modify | In the Edit String dialog that opens, type none into the Value data field | You'll need to reboot after making the change.

I edited the registry value (and restarted), everything is back to normal except for My Computer. Is there another value I need to change, or is it something more in-depth? Thanks for your help, by the way.

Start | Run | Type regsvr32 /i shell32, and click OK | Reboot.

I gave that a shot as well (twice, actually), and its still doing it (even the shortcuts I made to get around it still do it).

Follow my instructions for modifying the Value data to none for the (Default) String name under these two additional registry keys...

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT | Drive | shell and...

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT | Folder | shell

Thank you very much Redduc900, those last two changes did the trick.
