Ive looked all over the forums and have not found a problem similar to this. I have created a few pidl shortcuts to folders and when i click on them i want to explore the folders it points to. But when i enter the path in the desklet properties and click the shortcut, it just brings up the search window. Any ideas?
pidl shortcut displays search, not folder
Does this happen when you double click a folder on the desktop or in Explorer? It might be a case of Explorer defaulting to open up in a search mode due to folder settings.
