When I click on my computer, documents, trash folders, they don't open and
show me the files. They open and show me a search dialog. This just
started to happen. I looked at Kelly's site but couldn't find a fix.

How do I fix it?
 
Hi,

Click Start/Run and type this command to fix this problem:
(Tip from David Candy)

regsvr32 /i shell32.dll

-or-

Fix "Search" Opens Instead of Explorer:

-or-

Click Start/Run and type:

reg add hkcr\directory\shell /ve /d none /f

-or-

To fix this manually via registry:

If this problem is seen for Drives:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell
Set (default) to "none" (without ")

If this problem is seen for folders:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell]
Set (default) to "none" (without ")
