Guest Tony M Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 I read an MS paper on being able to print a directory listing in XP. Thought I had done everything right as the directory listing works. However when I now double right click on a folder the Search screen pops up rather than the folder opening. Folder can be opened by left click/open from the pop-up menu but it is irritating me. Any ideas how to change back to the default action?
Guest Tony M Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 RE: Double Left Click on Folder results in Search, not Open Sorry for the inconvenience. See that I'm not the only Bunny to have faced this problem. Didn't run a search initially as I thought I had messed up the registry somehow but now appears that it's a fairly common fault. Problem solved. Regards, "Tony M" wrote: > I read an MS paper on being able to print a directory listing in XP.

Guest Kelly Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Re: Double Left Click on Folder results in Search, not Open Go to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 /i shell32 If that doesn't correct the issue (and it should) use this automated edit: Search or CMD Opens When Double Clicking a Folder or Drive (Line 18) http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm -- All the Best, Kelly (MS-MVP/DTS&XP) Taskbar Repair Tool Plus! http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/taskbarplus!.htm "steve7132@yahoo.com" <steve7132yahoocom@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:FBD48116-C97D-43A8-AD1A-748D4FC5573F@microsoft.com... > This is what you are looking for, you want to go back to the default > action... > > http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321379 > > "Tony M" wrote: > >> I read an MS paper on being able to print a directory listing in XP. >> Thought >> I had done everything right as the directory listing works. >> However when I now double right click on a folder the Search screen pops >> up >> rather than the folder opening. >> Folder can be opened by left click/open from the pop-up menu but it is >> irritating me. >> Any ideas how to change back to the default action?
