Misty - I'm seeing the same thing on several XP machines. I think it's related to a botched installation of something - on one machine, I saw it for the first time after I installed Visio 2000. So I went back to a restore point (problem went away) and reinstalled Visio with no trouble. I have several other machines doing this, though, and I can't just reinstall stuff on them because of the way they're used. It looks like the default action for File Folders has been changed to "find" instead of "open", but I can't figure out how to change it back. Anybody else? - KLM
