Double click the drive in MyComputer Window open the "Search Results" window !

[chockku]

Hi,

I have a problem to see the directories in a drive. When i select the drive and press the Enter key or when i double click the drive, the "Search Results" window is opening. If i right click the drive and press the Explore or Open button the directories in the drive are shown. I hope some settings should be changed to do this. Kindly reply me how to display the directories in the drive when double click or pressing enter key in the drive.

Thankyou,
Chock.

ok go into any folder
then go to folder options (tools>folder options)
Then go to the file types tab at top.
Find 'Drive' (it says drive at the right)
Click drive then click 'advanced'
Now you'll see a list with only one entry named 'find' and it is probably bolded.
Well click the list so that find is not highlighted and click 'Set Default'. This should unbold find.

Once you have done that press okay then close.

Hai,

Thankyou for reply. As you said the 'find' is bolded under Tools-->Folder Options under File Types Tab on 'Drive' in Advanced button. But the Set Default button is not enabled. Kindly tell me the way to solve this problem..

Thankyou,

Not enabled? Odd.
Perhaps this has been disabled by your network administrator?

What's even more strange is this has now happened to me since adding a new task
Will check it out

Click the white part of the listbox under the word find and make sure find isn't highlighted, then set as default will be enabled and you can click it.

I'll apologise now as this is the best I could do.
For some reason if you create a new action you CANNOT edit or remove it afterwards...flipping stupid M$ Grrrrr!!!

Therefore, create a new action called "Open" and in the second box ("Application used...") put in "C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe" and it will open up the drive. Unfortunately it will be in a new window but that's the best I could manage I'm afraid.

This doesn't do anything. Once the "find" has been selected it will always happen even if it is de-selected because there is no new default to replace it. It is REEEEEEALLY frustrating. Also, any new actions created cannot be deleted, even though I have full administrator access to my pc!?!

Typical M$ ****!
