When you double click on a folder to open it, it opens up in with the Search Companion asking you to search for files instead of showing you the folder contents. Also if you right click on a folder, the dropdown box has the search option at the top of the list in bold letters. If this is happening to you then it’s easy to set it back to the way things used to be.
Here is what you need to do to set it back so it will open the folder instead of prompting you to search the folder. Click on Start, Run then type regsvr32 /i shell32.dll and click Ok.
