I have xp home sp1 and in Explorer...

How can I alter the context menu options when I right click?? Specifically,
I have (for some unknow reason) 'search' as the top option and when I double
click the left button the usual search box appears. I want a left
double-click and / or the top option in the right-click context menu to be
'open' or 'explore' or anything other than the search box... HELP please..
