Double clicking on drive opens search!

[DizitalNovice]

When I double click on any drive icon in my computer, search window appears. I saw folder options>file types>drive>advanced. There find is set as an action but I can't delete it as the button is disabled. How do I solve this?

Open regedit and goto:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell

In right-side pane, delete the "Default" key.

I am also hving the same problem...........
Just the difference is when i double click on any drive icon ........A OPENWITH dialog box appears..............

The context menu of the Drive when I drive click on it is...........
Auto
Search
OpenWith
Open Explorer

Auto is Default....

^^ Go to the same key mentioned above and look under the "Shell" and "ShellEx" whether any key related to "Auto" exists or not? If u find any similar key, then delete it.

Also make sure that there is no "Autorun.inf" file under each drive. It'll be hidden...

hey vish
there isn't any key related to "Auto"
I searched the computer but I didn't found ""Autorun.inf" also...............

How can I customize the context menu of MY computer, Drive, Recycle Bin……….as I want to delete “OpenWith, Search……”actions from the menu...

thnks in Advance...

@Ron
Did u enable "Hidden files/folders" option in Search settings?
And to remove other context menu options, u can remove them by going to following keys:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

Remember to take a backup first before playing those keys.
