Click to expand...

Search companion starts when you double-click a folder:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=321186

Essentially:
Go to Start > Run > regedit
Navigate to this subkey HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
Click on shell to highlight it
In the right pane, double-click Default
Type none for Value data
OK
