I'm running XP Pro here at work and for somehow the system decided to, when double clicking a folder in explorer, open a search dialog instead of the folder. Also, when you right click, the search option is at the top of the menu instead of the open dialog. I cannot figure out where to configure this and how to return the system to its original state, and it is driving me nuts. The mouse is a plain old boring HP two button wheel mouse. Any ideas?

Nevermind, I fixed it. The value for registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell was blank, and should contain the entry "none". I still don't know how it got that way.
