Double click on folder returns Search

[alfalf]

HEllo.

I'm using Win XP Pro as my Os. I don't know if I have done something, but when I'm browsing folders, when I doubleclick on a folder, instead of opening it in same window (as my settings are), it opens another window offering search.

In other words, when I rightclick a folder, first option on rightclick menu is Search instead of Open.

Does anyone had such expirience or know how to resolve this matter?

Thanks in advance.

I just fixed this problem on my own PC. Here's the link to Microsoft's instructions:

Good luck.
