Folders opening and showing contents

External Since: Sep 15, 2004 Posts: 1

I think this is the same problem I have now, since
downloading the SP2 package. I've spent hours trying to
change it back, so when I left click on a folder, it just
opens up and shows all files or photos. Instead, there's
that search page, that is totally useless!! I've even
taken my computer back to Best Buy, and they can't figure
this out either. The only way I can get a folder to open
the correct way (showing all documents, or photos) is to
right click on it, and then click OPEN. This is time
consuming, since I usually forget, and have to close it
out and then right click and then click OPEN.
I got a copy of PC mag that tells how to change this
back, but it doesn't have the same categories listed to
click on, like it shows in the mag. (Probably because
it's got that SP2)
