I have XP Pro on a laptop, and I just installed a new
desktop.  On my laptop; when I DBLclick or rightclick a
folder, it executes Explore, which is my first selection
on the rightclick menu.  On my desktop, when I rightclick
a folder is exectues Search, which is also the first menu
selection when i rightclick.  How can I mod the
rightclick menu on my desktop to make it Explore?
Thanks!

It's caused by a bug in the filetypes dialog. Type in Start - Run
regsvr32 /i shell32
