Default Double click opens folders to Search instead of Display (Open)

For some reason, everytime I double click (attempt to open) a folder other
than My Computer, instead of opening and displaying sub folders and files, it
displays the File Search on the left and gives me a blank results page. I can
open the folders manually with right click "Open" but it is not highlighted
as the default left-click menu button. Help me please, I'm getting pissed!
