Hi Mich, Here's how to get rid of the search coming up when you enter a folder. On the view menu, press enter on the "explorer bar" submenu and uncheck Search by pressing enter on it. Then go into the tools menu, folder options, control plus tab to the view page, find and spacebar on the "apply to all folders" button and tab to and then press enter. Jon
