Opening Folders (My Documents) getting the Search window

Ayana Kerberus · Sep 21, 2008

Im having this weird problem of when I try to open a folder in my documents I get the search window instead. such as..

If I'm in 'My Documents', And I want to go into 'My Music'. I click it and A new window opens up, The Search window, the little dog or whatever it is is asking me what I want to search for. I always have to Right-click and choose 'open' to open a folder.. It really makes me sad.. Hehe,. Can Anyone please help me? would Really REally REALLY appreciate it.

Found in Google all over the place
Start->Run-> regsvr32 /i shell32.dll

Or

To fix the problem manually, open Registry Editor and navigate to:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ Directory \ shell

-and-

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ Drive \ shell

In the right-pane, locate and click the (Default) value
Click Modify on the Edit menu
Type the word none in the Value data box, and then click OK
Exit Registry Editor.
