Hi, all Well, for me the tip from West_Ninja, was the good one. My problem was that, suddenly, the defaul action for double clicking on a folder was to open a search box; I have tried two or three solutions fron this forum, but I only managed to set a command prompt as the default action for My Computer, exactly the opposite the topic said it should had been (well, open action on folders was now restored); Using West_Ninja solution everything went smooth (still, there is an unknown command on my folders, like "openddeexec"), I guess that with a liittle tweaking I can get rid of that. Thank you guys.
