Right-click menus have changed....

When I right click on a folder in Windows Explorer (from the right hand pane) I have noticed that Search, rather than Explore is the item at the top of the context menu, which means that if I double click on a folder in the right hand pane, I get a search window pop up, rather than me being taken to the contents of that directory.

What gives???? - it never used to do this and to the best of my knowlege I've not changed or installed anything that may cause this.

BTW - expanding the DIR tree and single clicking on folder in the left-hand pane is fine - its all to do with Search being at the top of the context menu.....very weird.....

Its turning into one of those PC days today.....

I shall have a little look and see if this helps - at work at the moment so it'll have to wait until I get home.

I still have now idea how Search got to be at the top of the context menu - bloody Windows!
