Double Click Searches Instead of Explores !?

[snowairg]

If I double click on a folder on the desktop or while I'm in Windows Explorer, the search box pops up. Why is this all of a sudden doing this and how do I get it back so double clicking will open/explore the folder?

Thank you.

In Windows Explorer, go to:

TOOLS \ FOLDER OPTIONS and click the 'Restore Defaults' tab

Didn't work.

Thanks for trying, though... Anyone with other ideas?

What mouse/kb are you using? USB - Wireless - PS2 - Serial/AT haha?

Have you gone into Control Panel and checked the Mouse properties? Maybe somthing got changed in there? Also, do you have a program for the mouse? For example, my keyboard has LogiTech iTouch program for it, so when I press "My Home" or "E-Mail", etc. it goes do what it supposed to do. If your mouse has a program like that, check that out too.
