Folders aren't opening

In XP.....

When I click on a folder on desktop, or either in "My Computer" or "Windows
Explorer" on a folder on the right side of the screen, it'll prompt me for a
"Search" when it use to just open the folder like I would want. Right
clicking on the folder has "Search..." listed first and it use to be "open"

I tried to create a .txt file listing everything in a folder directory, I
created a .bat file and something didn't work. I went into to delete the
setting for the .bat file in registry and I believe I may have altered
something.

Could someone please help me and tell me how to set things back to the way
they were.

Not to reply to my own post, but when I tried to search the General board, I
must have froze up somewhere because I didn't see this question posted
numerous times. I apologize for that and I've taken the advice given in other
posts...problem fixed. I appreciate the help that goes on here. Thanks
 
go to control panel, Folder options, Click on File types tab, find Folder
(note: do not change File Folder), make sure you find Folder, highlight it by
clicking it, then click the advanced button check to see if the action you
want is there, or just click set default, and it should go back to normal,
don't touch anything else
