After removing ad-ware, using Resistry Mechanic, my double-click function has changed. I can no longer start a program from a desktop icon. SP search function comes up. Going deeper, when I right click on SOME icons, I find the search function at the top of the choices where OPEN wused to be.

Thanks, Jim

start > run, type
regedit
<enter>


navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell key, then look in the right pane...

The only entry should be DeFAULT, with a type of REG-SZ and a DATA of NONE.....

if there are more than one, delete it....if the only one there has a different DATA value, double click it and replace what is there with NONE

as always, take great care in editing the registry....if you do not know what you are doing, stop ask questions
