I believe I have found your issue.
 
If you are bold and not afraid here is where you go for the fix.
 
Please back up the registry first before making any changes
 
Read this.
 
 Opens Search Companion Rather than the Folder 

If the Windows Explorer opens up the Search Companion rather than opening up
the actual folder, the default setting for opening a folder is changed.

To correct this:

1.      Start Regedit 

2.      Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ Directory \ shell and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \
Drive \ shell] 

3.      Edit the default value to be explorer or none 

 
I checked mine and it is set to none
 
The second reg entry is where I found mine.

Could you try putting your jaws focus back on Local disk C and opening the
file menu.
 
See if there is an option to open with.  If so we have to get it to use
windows explorer.

Hi Robert,
By right clicking you mean the num pad * key?  
When I do this nothing happens.  I tried the left mouse button as well and
nothing happened.
So I pressed the application key and entered on explore then tab.  
No such file autorun.inf was in list view.

If you right click on the local disk C do you have an open with option?
 
Also again while on local disk C right click it and find the explore option
and press enter on it.  Then hit the tab key once then look for an
autorun.inf file.  If you find one rename the file by putting the letter X
in front of the file name.
 
Then close everything and again try to open local disk C.
 
Write back with results.

Hi Folks,
When I go to my computer and press enter on c:
I used to get a pop up for a trial Correll software program.  
to get around this problem I pressed the applicaton key and 'o' to open.  
I removed Correll program and now when I press on c:
It prompts me for search results or the find command.  Anyone know how to
fix my problem?  
Thanks,
Ann
