If you mess around in the registry, or install some different software packages that add things to the right-click menu, you can end up with a problem where the default action on a folder is always “Search…”, even though you set it to something else. There’s a quick and easy fix for this problem. Open up regedit.exe by using Start\Run and then browse down to this registry key: Double-click on the default value and set it to “none” without the quotes, as seen here: This will restore the normal behavior. |
