    So I take it since I haven't gotten a reply to my other post, no one can help with why when I double click on a drive why it brings up search instead of opening it....bummer, I hate having to right click on a drive and then open :rolleyes:

    When I double click on my main hd, c-drive, or any other drive, it brings up the search function instead of opening the drive as normal

    Not sure if this is what your looking for.

    >Got to Control Panel>Appearance and themes>Folder Options>3rd box down Click items as follows: Make your selection.

    What is your OS ? See if it happens when you double-click a folder in Windows Explorer.

    I am using xp sp2 with everything fully updated. The folders options box did already have open with a double click checked and it does allow the double mouse click to open the drives in windows explorer just not when I want to go through my computer like I do normally. Any ideas would be appreciated.Keep 'em coming :)

    Damn why so many threads about this problem, why not just bump the original thread by posting a reply to your own request ?

    P.S. Have given you an answer in Double click is now search in XP
