When I double click on a directory icon, the default response is to open a search box. How can I change that?

Could a clever person let me know how I can ascribe the double-click action to opening the directory I've clicked on?

I'm assuming you are using Win XP; although this solution may also work with Vista.

right click on the Download link and save folder_open.vbs to your desktop or a suitable location eg My Documents.

Double click the vbs file to install. Hopefully you should fix the problem. Some antivirus programs may detect the .vbs file as suspicious - you can safely ignore such warnings. Doug Knox is a trusted authority on Windows; see here
