    Recently I put a .exe file in the C drive for temporary storage. It was put in the root folder. When I removed it, I noticed it had changed the C Drive icon. I went to the file types tab in control panel folder options to make sure the icon was restored. But now when I double click C drive, it opens search. It used to open the C drive in the same window, and I want it to do that again.

    How do i restore the default action?
    Any help would be apprieciated, this is very annoying for me!
