I have Windows 2000 Pro using IE Explorer 6. A strange problem, I have a few
computers with IE 6 and all but one operate the same.
When in IE I have the Directorty of folders on the left window and the
current selection in the right window. When I click on a folder in the right
window, the folder opens and diplays the contents, either files or folders
and files.
On the one computer when I click an a folder in the right window, it goes to
the search mode, a real pain. How do I make it act the same as the others.
I have tried to make TOOLS>FOLDER OPTIONS the same.
Thanks for your help
George
 
You are correct it is Windows Explore.
I went to the webdsite you indicated, but I did not see a way to put it back
to the normal way. If I single click, nothing happens.
Thanks
George
