Tuesday, December 13, 2005 by -OZZY- | Discussion: Windows XP
ok here it is, every time i double click to open a shortcut to a folder on my desktop it opens "search" ....
when i go to my documents in the start menu, click it, then it opens fine but as soon as i want to open another folder in my documents it opens
"search" again....does anybody know what is going on....how do i get rid of this...??
btw, the folders i used here are just an example, it happens with every folder....
if u have any ideas it would be very much appreciated !!

That doesn't mean some other program can't come along and change it later!
Anyway, glad to see you got it fixed.

If not you need to cut the following & paste to a notepad file and rename with the extension '.reg'. Then double click it and allow it to be added to the registry. Hope it helps...
