Hard drive Options [d/click on drive in My Computer opens context menu]

When I go into my computer and double-click on either one of my hard-drives or floppy disk i get a search box that you would get if you were to search files and folders. This has happened since i put in the new hard drive. Does anybody know a way a can revert it back to the 'normal' open way.

I shall post a image once i set up hosting.....

My System

You can try this (courtesy of Kelly's Korner ) ...

"How to make My Computer' open in Explore mode with folder list. In My Computer click Tools menu, and then click Options. Click the File Types tab. In the list of file types, highlight "(NONE) Folders". Click Advanced button, In the Actions box, highlight "Explore" Click "Set Default"

Or just click 'Explore' (not 'Search') in your menu (shown in your screenshot).
