Clicking On A Folder

today I was clicking on a normal folder, like the WINDOWS folder, and all of a sudden the search companion pops up instead of opening the folder normally, I can still open the folder by right clicking it and open, but I don't really want to do that from now on

does anyone know how to fix the problem?

 

Start> My Computer > Tools > Folder options

 

I did that, I restored it to normal options, but it still does it

 

Does it do the same thing with other folders?

 

I'm pretty sure you have to go into the regeistry edit. But I can't remember what else you have to do. I had this problem once.

 

yeah, it does with other folders
