Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious
problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft
cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry
Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
After you follow the steps in the previous sections, Search Companion may
start when you double-click a folder instead of the folder being opened. Or,
if you have associated other actions with file folders, those actions may be
performed instead.
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
Start Registry Editor.
Locate the Default value under the following key in the registry:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
Click Modify on the Edit menu.
In the File data box, type:
none
Click OK.
Quit Registry Editor.
