Every time I click on The "C" Drive the Search Menu pops up instead of the
contents oin the "C" Drive. How do I get the "C" Drive to open its contents
when I click on it instead of the Search Menu?

Easy fix: Go to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 /i shell32

If that doesn't correct the issue (and it should) use this automated edit:

Search or CMD Opens When Double Clicking a Folder or Drive (Line 1Cool
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm" target="_blank">http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm</a>

To use the VBS File: Download .vbs file and save it to your hard drive (you
may want to right click and use Save Target As). Double-click the vbs file.
You will be prompted when the script is done.

NOTE: If your anti-virus software warns you of a "malicious" script, this
is normal if you have "Script Safe" or similar technology enabled. These
scripts are not malicious, but they do make changes to the System Registry.

This problem occurs when you alter the "Drive" / "File Folders" entries via
File Types dialog, to add a "Command Prompt here" or "Print Directory"
feature. (for example)

<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=321379" target="_blank">http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=321379</a>
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=321186" target="_blank">http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=321186</a>

Resolution:

Click Start/Run and type this command to fix this problem:
(Tip from David Candy)

regsvr32 /i shell32.dll

-or-

To fix this manually via registry:

If this problem is seen for Drives:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell
Set (default) to "none" (without ")

If this problem is seen for folders:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell]
Set (default) to "none" (without ")

See "Search Companion Starts If You Double-Click a Folder"
