You did not read my question thouroughly. I believe your solution to be
incorrect. I said and I quote "when I "left click on a folder". When you left
click on a folder you are simply opening it. My computer does not do this
now, it opens up a search box for the folder (or shortcut) that I am simply
trying to open. You need to read, not skim. Does anyone one else have any
suggestions
