Whenever double-click on any drive/folder in My Computer, a Search window opens


Whenever  double-click on any drive/folder in My Computer, a Search window opens


This type of problem normally occurs because some virus called ‘PET32.exe’ , or it can also occur due some other virus which disrupt the windows registry.





Solution:

1. Open Start >> Run or press Window Key + r , this will open the run prompt.
2. Type “regedit” ( without quotes ) and press Enter.

3. Navigate to key
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell

4. Double the registry key named Default and set the value to none.

This will restore the normal windows explorer behavior of opening a folder when double click a folder rather than opening windows search.

If search opens when you double click on any windows drive, then try this

1. Open Start >> Run or press Window key + r
2. Type “regsvr32 /i shell32.dll” ( without quotes ) and press Enter
 
After the command run successfully, you will see a message saying DllRegisterServer and DllInstall in Shell32.dll succeeded.

Rebooted
