A desktop shortcut which used to open a folder and files now goes to
the 'search' function.
How can I revert to the folder and file listing?


Does this happen when you try to open a folder directly? If so, take a look at
this article.

If it only happens with shortcuts, see if the LNK File Association Fix available
on this web site helps.
