- Posted by Richard on October 8th, 2005
When double clicked my folder used to open - they now search. I've attempted
to change this setting in "folders" in "control panel"

Try this:
1.Start Registry Editor. (start -> Run... -> regedit)
2.Locate the Default value under the following key in the registry:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
3.Click Modify on the Edit menu.
4.In the File data box, type:
none
5.Click OK.
6.Quit Registry Editor.

Or if manually editing the registry isn't to your liking, See www.dougknox.com, Win XP Fixes, Search/Command Prompt Opens When Double Clicking a Folder.
