Hi,

You fellas have been tremendously helpful with my past problems. I'm sure this one is simple but after several hours I haven't solved it.

I'm running XP home and have a Logitech optical mouse

On my desktop among my icons i have several folders. When I double-click the folders instead of them opening i'm taken to the search window the same one that you open in the start menu.

When i right-click on the folders and select open from the drop menu they will open normally.

When i double-click the icons they open normally

I've gone to tools/folder options/general and made sure the "double-click to open an item" radio button is selected.

Any help you can offer will be very appreciated.

Hey darth thanks for quick response

Your suggestion didnt work for me

However i found the following registry edit that solved my problem

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell]
@="none"

Everything's working normally now

Thanks again.
