Default Help? Clicking on a drive or folder goes straight to the search function within windows explorer!

Whenever I click on a local drive or folder windows explorer goes
straight to the search ascpect of windows explorer, thus i have to
close the window and right click on the folder or drive and click open,
search is currently at the top of the drop down menu when you right
click on a folder or drive. This is incredibly annoying any help or
suggestions would be appreciated. I am running Windows XP Pro sp2
Thanks
