Cause :

This type of problem normally occurs because some virus called ‘PET32.exe’  which makes unauthorized changes to the registry.

Solution :

1. Open Start >> Run or (Window Key + R) , this will open the Run Prompt.

2. Type “regedit” ( without quotes ) and press Enter.

3. Navigate to key

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell

4. Double the registry key named Default and set the value to none.

This should pretty much restore normal functionality, but if it doesn’t follow below :

If search opens when you double click on any windows drive, then try this

1. Open Start >> Run or press Window key + r

2. Type “regsvr32 /i shell32.dll” ( without quotes ) and press Enter

After the command run successfully, you will see a message saying DllRegisterServer and DllInstall in Shell32.dll succeeded.
