Folders and devices are searched, not opened

When I double-click a device or a folder, a Search panel
is presented, not the Open that I expect. I installed XP
this week, and it was working correctly until today -- I
obviously made a change but can't find it!
 
Hi Mark,

Go to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 /i shell32

If that doesn't correct the issue (and it should) use this automated edit:

Search or CMD Opens When Double Clicking a Folder or Drive (Line 18)

To use the VBS File: Download .vbs file and save it to your hard drive (you
may want to right click and use Save Target As). Double-click the vbs file.
You will be prompted when the script is done.
