Sounds like he set the default option for a folder to be search instead
of open.

Windows Explorer--Tools--Folder Options--File Types tab---Scroll to
(NONE) Folder---Advanced---Click on Open in the Actions box---Click Set
Default.

There is also the File Folder entry, and it's possible you'd have to
look at that and set the default option in there, but I don't think so.

Subject: [windows2000] doubleclick in explorer launches search window


We have one of those famous users who never admits to doing anything to
his PC.  Who knows how the unauthorized software got in there?  Anyway,
after deselecting thumbnail view on the network drive (which can cause
Windows Explorer to sputter searching such a huge area), he complains
that when he opens a folder he has to wait for it to quit searching.  He
is correct.  Using Windows Explorer, you can navigate in the folders
pane on the left, but doubleclicking a folder in the contents pane on
the right opens a Search window.  This is a winxpsp1 machine.  What has
he done?  Oops, I mean what happened all on its own the very day he got
the computer that he has neglected to mention until now?  TIA
