I have my XP machine configured to open files and folders with a single click.
Recently, something (probably an update) changed my configurations and suddenly, every time I tried to open a folder or drive, that stupid search companion opened instead. I would then have to close search companion, right click the folder (or drive) and click "open" in a drop-down menu. Needless to say, it defeated the entire purpose of configuring my machine to use single click.
My question was "How can I disable search companion?"
