Was tinkering around in the folders options settings and some how i have changed the settings for when i double click on a folder..it now opens the "search" dialogue window.Also when i click file inside a window the first option is search not open doh!
Any help would be much appreciated and i promise not to tinker again :waughh: :blush:
thanks
Keith

508491 2006-12-21 07:30:00 You mean the search dialogue box with the little torch? chocolate2006 (11426)
508492 2006-12-21 07:33:00 no not that one..if you right click a folder it has open then explore then search, in that order, mine now has search at the top not open kiwikeith (1273)
508493 2006-12-21 07:37:00 If you go back into folder options there should be a 'restore default' button, you could try that. Did you muck around with all the view options? chocolate2006 (11426)
508494 2006-12-21 08:06:00 no hav tried that it doesnt seem to be the place to make that sort of adjustment,cant figure out what i did, unless it is in the View files section kiwikeith (1273)

.but not very clear and a bit dodgy as you have to edit the registry and it is not labeled as clearly as it should be in the actual registry. anyway it has fixed the problem..apparently it happens if you fiddle with the advanced settings in Folders..
