Hi Jerry,
I have more than a sneaky feeling that the answer lies in
the Registry, which as you know, is a real hornet's nest.
I've tried Googling, but was struggling to find the right
search words.
I wonder if it might be an idea to join one of the Microsoft
User Groups? I've found them to be very good.
George.

Subject: [guispeak] A perplexing problem
Good evening folks.
Perhaps someone on the GuiSpeak list has a solution I
haven't
tried. I sure hope so.
Here's what happens, a first time and a real mystery to
me.
When using my, my computer icon on my desktop to view the
contents of a drive, any drive, including memory sticks,
pressing enter brings up the search prompt. In such things
as
my documents or shared documents, files and folders are
displayed normally. When pointing at a drive before
attempting to open it, a glance at the file menu shows the
search option to be the first in the list and bolded
instead
of the open option that should be there. No adjustments of
any kind in the folder options have the slightest effect
on
the ordering in this menu, just as one might expect. The
difficulty is that no other variation of parameters
reorders
the menu options either.
If anyone has any ideas about how to get the file menu
back
in correct order with my computer and drives, I'll be very
grateful. I'm a bit tired of hopping up to the file menu,
down arrowing to open and hitting enter, just to do what
enter used to do.
By the way, I'm using XP pro with Service Pack 2 and all
recent updates.
Eagerly awaiting any clues.
Jerry
