Issue: Search Companion Starts If You Double-Click a Folder
This problem occurs when you alter the "Drive" / "File Folders" entries via File Types dialog, to add a "Command Prompt here" or "Print Directory" feature for folders. (example)
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=321379 http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=321186
Resolution:
Click Start/Run and type this command to fix this problem: (Tip from David Candy)
regsvr32 /i shell32.dll
-or-
Fix "Search" Opens Instead of Explorer: http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts_desc/xp_folder_open.htm
-or-
To fix this manually via registry:
If this problem is seen for Drives:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell Set (default) to "none" (without ")
If this problem is seen for folders:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell] Set (default) to "none" (without ")

This is driving me mad! An extra entry has suddenly appeared on my right
click menu. The entry is 'search...'. To make things worse it is the default
entry at the top of the menu, so every time I click to open a folder, it goes
into 'search' mode.
Where did it come from and how do I get rid of it?
Any help with this will be very much appreciated. Thank you.
Big Al
