my kid might have got at it

just recently when i double click to open a folder or file the { find folder or file} dialog box opens instead of just opening the folder.

I'd appreciate it if anyone knows how to change this setting.

What Operating System?

On any folder hold down the right mouse button and press the left button once then release both and see if the problem goes away.

Did my suggestion not work?

I tried what you said about hold right click then left click and it gives the same menu as if i just right click. I can still navigate using right click then open in the menu.

p.s. great forum you guys got goin here.
