I am using Windows XP Home with SP2. I have my computer set to single click
to open files etc.
I recently recovered from what I think may have been a worm which caused
all of my EXE files to open in Word Pad. I corrected this problem via
Folder Options, File Types. In the process of finding a repair I down
loaded a script (xp_exe_fix) from Doug Knox's web site. This script did not
fix my problem but immediately after I ran the script I noted a new
problem:
When I open "My Computer" and click on either 3 12" Floppy, Local Disk (C),
or CD-RW Drive (D) I get the "Search Results" window. If I RIGHT click on 3
1/2 Floppy, Local Disk (C) or CD-RW Drive (D) and click OPEN they will open
properly. I note that the FIRST OR TOP item in the RIGHT CLICK drop down
list is SEARCH. The SECOND item in the RIGHT CLICK drop down list is OPEN.
I do not know if this has anything to do with the problem but it may or may
not be a clue.
Can you suggest a cure for this problem?
Thank you,
Bob Havens
