Type in Start Run

regsvr32 /i shell32

This occurs when you use the File Types dialog to edit Drives or
Directories. You need to type the above each time you use that dialog to
edit those two types.

In news:uPLbXVEfGHA.2188@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
paul.chiasson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <paul.chiasson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and
pecked:
Every time I go to open a file folder the Windows XP "SEARCH" engine keeps
popping up instead. It took me a while to notice that "OPEN" had been
replaced by "SEARCH" as the primary function at the top of the box under
the "FILE" function command (?) list {what is the right name for those
boxes under "File, etc., etc. etc., etc. ..."}. Can I swap "SEARCH" for
"OPEN" in some way, or remove it from the list of "Command Functions"
altogether (or at least place it toward the bottom in a standby position)?

I know this sounds silly, and it was my own damned fault for not
slapping my hand when fiddling with important functions. Unfortunately,
it has gone beyond "SYSTEM RESTORE", I did something to make "SEARCH" a
_permanent_ feature on the list. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
