Why am I having problem running Google ‘Desktop’ on Windows XP pro platform. Search box ‘freezes’?? I am running Windows XP pro and have used “Google Desktop” without any problems until recently. Now, when I start to type in the ‘google search box’ on the task bar it ‘freezes’ and causes cursor to become unresponsive to in the task bar and eventually unresponsive to all open programs. This phenomenon seems to correspond to installing a windows security patch a few weeks ago.

Hi there, I have Windows Vista Premium on my computer system as my OS, which has an integrated Windows Search feature, which i tend to use a lot.

How do you make folders open normally in Windows XP instead of ending up in a Search Window? Whenever I open up folders in Windows XP, I get a window, but instead of displaying the folder's contents, I only see "To start your search, follow the instructions in the left pane." In the left pane are search options that you usually encounter when clicking Start -> Search. When I right click the folder on the desktop, "Search" is bolded (as a default setting, I guess) instead of the usual "Open" or even "Explore." When clicking on these through the right click menu, the folder's contents appear normally, however, I need an easier way to access them. Is there a way I can revert it to an original setting somehow, where I can easily access a folder's contents by simply double clicking it. Thanks in advance. Thank you, rk - it worked!
