Somehow, my settings were changed so that when I double-click on a folder it
opens up a search instead of opening the folder. I've tried going to "Folder
Options" in control panel and going to the "file type" section and making
explorer the default but then it opens them in seperate windows despite the
option of having them open in the same window being clicked on the "general"
tab. Does anyone know how to restore the default?

One of these should fix this annoyance -

See Line #18 - Search opens when double clicking a folder
