When I open explorer.exe trying to go down to another level by clicking the
folder on the right hand side of the screen opens a new window and search
option.
My intention is to open folders by drilling down by double clicking the
folder(s) until I find the file I am looking for.
Should I use the left hand side I can click on the + signs and open up to
the level required.
Can not seem to find an option to switch off this auto search - can any one
supply some ideas on where to look and what to do?
Thanks in advance

MVP Doug Knox has a fix for this at his website:
