Thank you Rick!

It worked great, only took a second to install!
I didn't expect such a quick response :D

Just got a new computer and it has Media Center on it. I assumed XP
was
XP and things would work the same. When I go into My Computer and
left
click on C: it opens it and shows all the files. However, when I
left
click to open a file (a long standing habit from my old computer with
just XP) a "search" window opens. I have to remember to right click
on
a file folder and use the drop down menu to Open the file. Drives me
nuts, how can I get rid of the search (it's 1st on the drop down list
also) and just open a file when I left click on it?

Thanks in advance!
