Try disabling Findfast if there... The correct way to disable Find Fast requires that you delete the Find Fast index files: START > SETTINGS > CONTROL PANEL > FIND FAST Double-click Find Fast. In the "Index for documents in and below" list, click the first item. On the Index menu, click Delete Index. In the Delete Index dialog box, click OK. When you are prompted whether to delete the index, Click OK. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until there are no more indices. On the Index menu, click Close And Stop. Then, click OK to stop Find Fast. Remove the Microsoft Find Fast shortcut from the StartUp folder (typically in the Windows folder in the Start Menu\Programs folder). -----Original Message----- From: Lane, Mark [mailto:MDL@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, January 13, 2004 4:32 PM To: 'windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' 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?
