Does anyone know why this happens? It seems like it doesn't happen on all machines, and it also seems that it isn't the default after setting up a machine. We've had other problems where "Search" becomes the default behaviour when double-clicking a folder, which is also immensely annoying. I don't want to install apps one at a time to figure which one causes this, so if anyone knows what does cause it, let me know
