My Windows XP always allowed me to open My Computer, then double click a Hard
Drive and view the files on that drive. I just restored and updated all
Windows software from Microsoft Update and everytime I double click the Hard
Drive I get the Search window. If I turn the Search off I'm not in any
specific folder. I used to only receive that when I needed it. Now I have
to Right Click the Drive Letter and Select Open or Explore. How can I fix
this issue?
