trouble accessing HDD

[Guest Paolo]

when i go to my computer and double-click on HDD(C:) i get into the Search

companion instead of accessing the drive, so i have to right-click it instead

and then open it. I used to be able to just double-click the HDD icon and get

into it. why is it doing this?

If that doesn't work, take a look at these articles.
