Double-click brings up Search, not Open

[Guest Doug]

Clicking Start/My Computer then double-click C: brings up Search, not Open.

Right-click shows Search as default.

How can I change it back to 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)
