Ask the DoctorStop Searchin'

Posted 10/19/09 at 11:30:02 AM by The Maximum PC Staff

Ask the Doctor LogoA week ago I opened up My Computer to go exploring my second hard drive. However, when I double-clicked the drive to open it, the Windows Search function started up and opened a new window. When I right-click either drive, the Search option is the default. This is really annoying. Many times I forget about this issue and double-click, only to have the computer slow down a bit and open a new box for the search. Is there a way to modify the default option for a double-click?
