Double-clicking and context menu

[Steven Myers]

The way things used to work was:
In Windows Explorer, in the right-hand pane, if I double-clicked on a folder,
that folder expanded to show its contents.

Now the double-click opens a Search dialog. And now the context menu shows
Search... in bold (which means it's the default, I guess).
How can I put things back the way they used to be?
TIA.

Steve

Sno nuff, that key value was "find," instead of the "none" your link
suggested. All is now well.Thanks, Wesley!
