help needed for a noob

from Stardock Forums
hello, im a first time user of the Windows Blinds system and my problem is that when i double click on folders it opens a search window everytime instead of just opening the folder. now i have to right click and select open to get into any of my folders. this is getting really tedious so any help would be greatly appreciated. thx

thanks for the link mate, but i read that this morning and that seemed wrong. once i new these Actions where incorrect i knew how to fix it. this way is much simpley than the one suggested in the link:

Start Registry Editor

find: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell or it maybe in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell and change the default value for these to "none" (w/o " marks) there maybe no value there at all but still change it to none

this takes about 2 mins and its fixed.

thanks for the help anyways guys, it much appreciated
