Default Double clicing folders opens search box not folder

When I double click on a folder icon, the search box opens. I can only open
folders by right clicking and selecting open.
The open command is the second command when I right click, instead of the
first.

Default Double clicing folders opens search box not folder

It seems as if Search has been set as the default action for folders in
Windows. Change this in the folder options (click the icon in Control
Panel). See:
