Q. Default action "search" instead of "open"? (In my computer) opens.

Here a stumper for me. Maybe you know how to fix it.

When in my computer, if I double click on any of the drives, it opens up a search window instead of opening the folder! Its so annoying. I have to Right Click and select 'open' every time.

If I right click, the menu opens there and 'search' is on the top in bold instead of 'open'.

I don’t know how I messed it up, but if you know how to change the default action.
PLEASE HELP!

A. Give the following a try.

Go to Start/Run and type in the following:

regsvr32 /i shell32

Click OK

Note that the spacing is important.

It is important to note that there is never one fix for a question.  What may work for one person might not for the next.  Depending on the problem and the way it is described by the Computer Owner there may be Six different approaches to a positive outcome.  If the first answer I give you to your question doesn’t work let me know and I will send you another.  Just give me details.

Let me know if you need anything else.
