Help! folders in XP opening in new windows. >_<

[Locke]

Old problem fixed....

Here is my problem

Somehow the search function replaced the "open" command for right clicking, and I'm not sure where to change it back. Any help? Thanks!

New problem.

I took Hossenfeffer's advice...

--------------------------------------------------------
Select Folder Options from the Tools menu in My Computer or Explorer, and click the File Types tab.
Highlight the desired file type, and click Advanced. (Probably File Folder and/or Folder)
In the box entitled Actions, is a list of the customizable context menu items. The bold item is the default (the action carried out when you double-click on a file of this type).
You can add new items, change the default action, and remove unwanted items here. For new items, simply specify the program with which you want the action caried out.
------------------------------------------------------

.....then entered explorer as the program with which to run the open command. Now everytime I click to open a folder it opens a new window instead of using the same. I looked around in folder properties and selected the option to open folders in the same window, but that doesn't effect anything.

The bolded option is what is performed when double clicking. Right now search is bolded. I want to reset it to open. =)

Great! Everything looks good now.

Hmm, still not 100%. I put explorer as the program with which to run the open command, and not everytime I click to open a folder it opens a new window instead of using the same. I looked around in folder properties and selected the option to open folders in the same window, but that doesn't effect anything.

Any ideas?
