Question on "find target" in properties box

In the properties box for a shortcut file, the "find target" button sends me to the "search results box "; I want to go directly to the shortcuts target menue.Used to do this, did I turn something off or on somewhere? Am using windows xp.

Would anyone have a suggestion of what to do.

Thank You Big Red

 

That sounds like a flawed association for "Folders. "

Try the fix from Doug Knox:

Incidentally, this malady is most often caused by opening Explorer or My Computer and clicking on the Tools > Folder Options > File Types > selecting "Folder" and then clicking OK instead of Cancel. Even though you have only looked and made no changes, changes will nevertheless be made IF you have selected Folder or File Folder and IF you then click OK. To avoid this, always click "Cancel" when you don't intend to change things.
