Mapped Drive opens with Search Companion but no files or folders

[Guest Timma]

Normally when you open a mapped drive in MyComputer, you double click the

desired drive icon and a window full of files and folders appears.

 

When I attempt to open a mapped drive in MyComputer by double clicking on

it, it opens a window that displays the search companion along the left hand

side, and the middle of the screen where you'd normally see files and folders

is blank.

 

If I open the mapped drive by right clicking on it and selecting "open," it

displays the normal view.

 

Any suggestions?

Nevermind. I figured it out. I changed the default value of

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\Shell to "none."

It was previously set to "find."

Search opens when double clicking a folder. See Line #18
