Greetings ... some how I have managed to change the OPEN vs. SEARCH command
when clicking on a file folder. I have the "left & right" set up correctly
on my mouse however when I left click on a file folder the SEARCH RESULTS
window pops up. If you were to RIGHT CLICK on a file folder the top option
is normally to OPEN a file but mine lists SEARCH as the top option!! HELP
.... this is getting rather annoying! THANK YOU!

Search opens after editing Drives or Directories

Type in Start Run

regsvr32 /i shell32

This occurs when you use the File Types dialog to edit Drives or
Directories. You need to type the above each time you use that dialog to
edit those two types.
