Left mouse click initiates search rather than open folder
When I double click a file that it initiates a search rather than opening the folder. How can I change the default so that a double click opens a folder. Aslo if I am right clicking, then Explore is at the top of the menus rather than Open. Are this things related probably? Thanks for any information in advance.
I couldn't find the thread suggested
I have the same problem with left click executing the "search" command instead of "Open". What causes the registry to get corrupted?
I downloaded the file suggested in the first response, but don't remember how to get into the registry (I knew how to do it years ago on my Win98 machine but have forgotten). I guess I'll search how to get into registry.
Any help is appreciated- this really annoys me!

re: Left mouse click initiates search rather than open folder
I had the same problem with the mouse. The script worked.
I notice before if you right click on the folder the menu had change as to the default double click option (Bold type) and the default search program was a newer version. Then reading the comments I remember there was a update from Microsoft when it was installing about a new search update. After that I had the left button mouse problem. At the time I didn't notice between the update and the problem. Its the old you will like the new search tool and we will fix it so it goes it instead of old one. Now you have start the new one to get to the old one at the left bottom of the new one. Pain!
Re: Windows Explorer Opens Search Companion Rather than the Folder, how do I change?
Hi, I was trying to change things in my folder options and now everytime I open any folder, search companion opens up not my folder. I know another way to open my folder but I wanted the way it was before where I could just double click and I was there. Is there a way of removing the search companion or put it somewhere where I can't see it.
