'Search' is default action for folders


Recommended Posts

This is getting frustrating. When I double click a folder to open it, another window comes up with the search bar on the left side, and nothing in the contents screen.

Here is a screenshot which shows 'Search' as default (as it is the top of the list and in bold).

I know there's a simple answer to restoring the default to 'Explore' and I would much appreciate it!

Cheers.

Start -> run -> regedit

Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Shell, double click the default value and change it to open

i find windows explorer a much better tool if it's changed to "explore" :yes:
