Every time I double click a folder...any folder, Windows
xp pro wont open the folder. It opens the "search
window". the only way I have been able to open a folder
is to, right click and select "open". This gets very
annoying. Can anyone help me change this????
your time is greatly appreiciated.

Type
regsvr32 /i shell32
in Start Run and repeat if you edit folders in the file types dialog.
 
What causes this to happen? I had the same problem with XP-Pro, and the fix you suggested worked

Thanks

Making changes in the File Types options, particularly for Drives and Folders can cause this. Its a bug, and MS is aware of it. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next Service Pack.
