Trouble opening any folder by using the double-click method

Whenever I try to open a folder by double clicking it opens a file of "search results". But if I choose a right-click "open" each folder opens ok. Why is it you?

See if this helps:

'Search Companion starts if you double-click a folder '.

  • My files in Windows Explorer suddenly spent the double click to single click

    Out of the blue my Windows Explorer has suddenly changed to open files and folders by double-clicking on a single click. I don't like this and change (mainly because my voice recognition software works best with the double click method). How can I go on this return failover? Here is a picture of my Windows Explorer, you will notice that all the files are highlighted as if they were links in Internet Explorer.

    I think the next thing to test would that interfere with Add-ons. Disables the Firefox Add-on - Add-ons that only list compatibility with Firefox 5, but some add-ons could cause problems.

    To test, the simplest method is to restart Firefox Safe mode.

    First of all, I recommend you backup your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See your backup information. (You can copy your profile folder Firefox together somewhere outside the Mozilla folder).

    Then, try help > restart with disabled modules > continue in Mode safe (do not check the boxes). This article gives more information on the options and features of Safe Mode: Safe Mode.

    What is fix? If so, you may have to disable some add-ons.

    Hello Lowki11,

    You can also try a System File Checker to see if you have corrupted system files.

    Click Start
    Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
    Click on "Run as Administrator"
    At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow

    This will check for any violation of the integrity and repair any damaged operating system files.

    Reboot your system.

    I hope this helps.

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of your modules is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Modules > themes).

  • How is it that a computer which works very well with a direct Ethernet connection won't work with a switch, however any other computer using the same port, cable, ect, and so on, can?

    Switch issues. Help, please.

    How is it that a computer which works very well with a direct Ethernet connection won't work with a switch, however any other computer using the same port, cable, ect, and so on, can? We already checked the firewall as a question, that it was not, and now, we are puzzled.

    Well, I know that the issue is long-term... believe me, it's a long, but as they say, the devil is in the details. Anywho, the question is, my grandfather has a HP laptop, which for two years has been able to run through a Linksys switch to his router and connect its printers to his laptop. About two months ago it suddenly doesn't work like that. Now, it works fine if it plugs directly into the router/Ethernet. My uncle suggested that the switch was bad, but after testing the same port, cable and all, the switch worked well for him. ' GRAMPS really needs this answered, but someone else, it is called can not understand and now I, in turn, ask you all for what you can offer. Here are the ideas that we have already discredited.

    -Switch bad: as above, is that this particular laptop, even under identical conditions, the works of my uncle very well.
    -Bad NIC: debunked through the fact we connected to the computer directly to the router and it worked fine.
    -Bad configuration of the firewall: we have disabled the firewall (please do not notice, he wasn't the smartest idea, we already know) and even if she recorded the switch exists, the internet is always triggered when you are connected with the switch.

    Thanks in advance for any assistance that you can provide and Merry Christmas to you all.

    It would be useful to consult the results of the ipconfig/all command both when it is connected to the switch and when it is connected directly to the router.  In addition, what is the model of the switch?

    To save the manual copy and the new hits of the ipconfig/all command output-

    First connect through switch.
    Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
    Type the following lines in the black command prompt window and press ENTER after each line

    echo "Connected via the button" > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".
    ipconfig/all > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".

    Now connect directly to the router, type the following lines in the command prompt window and press ENTER after each line

    echo "Connected to the router" > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".
    ipconfig/all > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".
    Notepad '% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt '.
    output

    Copy the contents of the Notepad window in your response (if you use the laptop when it is connected directly to the router) or close the Notepad window, and then copy ipinfo.txt of the laptop to the Gramps in a USB FlashDrive you can connect to any computer allows you to answer.

    You can delete ipinfo.txt on the desktop when you are finished.

  • Windows Explorer crashes when you open any folder with MPEG2 files.

    WinXP SP3 - When you open any folder with MPEG2 files, windows Explorer crashes. If the folder contains only the MPEG1 files, it opens without a problem. We first thought it was a problem of media player, but we can not even click on a file to open it in media player.

    Hi kathyd,.

    ·        You did changes to the computer before this problem started?

    Since we do not know what is causing this problem, I'd suggest unanimous the event viewer on your computer and check the details in the window logs messages/error codes important related to the question, during the time where this problem occurs and after return.

    Event logs can help you identify and diagnose the source of current system problems or help you predict potential system problems.

    Access the link below to learn how to view and manage the event logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/308427

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/event_overview_01.mspx?mfr=true

    You can try to start both computers in safe mode and check if it can open the folder where the MPEG 2 files are stored and if windows Explorer crashes. To boot to the desktop in safe mode keep tapping key F8 during restart. Once you see the option to start in safe mode select and press to enter.

    I hope this helps. Post back with the required information.

    Thank you and best regards,

  • How can I disable the double click to a new tab in Firefox?

    I just installed the latest version of Firefox, and now I'm faced with a new problem. When I try to open a new tab I click twice on the top bar, and it's annoying me. I used to open a new tab by clicking on an icon next to any tab and now this icon is moved to the top right corner, and it seems there is no way to open a new tab except by double clicking on the top!
    How can I find this icon instead of previous to open a new tab just with a single click.
    Thank you

  • I was on facebook and remove an icon by using the right-click menu, but then all my photos and pictures of profile, could no longer be seen. I was able to view them in the browser, so it's something I've done in Firefox. How can I unlock a site? "

    I was on facebook and remove an icon by using the right-click menu, but then all my photos and pictures of profile, could no longer be seen. I was able to view them in the browser, so it's something I've done in Firefox. How can I unlock a site?

    If you select that right click menu context then you block all images from this area and not a specific image, so do not use that.

    • Check exceptions in tools > Options > content: Load Images > Exceptions (for example sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net)

    You can use the following steps to check if the images are blocked:

    • Click on the "More information" button to open the "Page Info" with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "tools > Page Info").
    • Go to the Media of the window tab "tools > Page Info.
    • Select the first link of the image and scroll down through the list with the arrow down.
    • If an image in the list is grayed out and there is a check mark in the box "block Images of..." and remove this mark to unlock the images from this area.
