Lightbulb Double click error in Win XP folder/drive

Recently my PC started giving a weird kind of error because of some registry change.
Whenever I double clicked on a Drive /folder , instead of the folder opening, a search window would prop up. The default command in the right click menu for these items was changed. I tried to fix the problem form the tools option in the browser, but the default wouldn't change.
Then I resorted to a bit of googling. Initially I found a solutions or two in which the appropriate changes to the registry were stated. I tries those even that didn't help(the instructions weren't simple to follow). Then finally I came across this VBscript file :
http://www.esnips.com/doc/fa4bc226-2c58-4b18-885f-7b21b5b90d0a/xp_folder_open_fix

Unzipping it, saving it on my PC and running it solved the problem!!!(that script was written by an MSVP).

If you are facing a similar error , try it out.

Disclaimer : The file causes registry changes. Any users running it on their PCs should do it on
their own risk.

Do visit my blog (http://mastermind303.blogspot.com) for more articles!!!!

90% of Windows problems don't need reinstalling.

Thank you.
