Question Rt-click shows "Find" instead of "Open"

Need help finding how mouse clicks get dispatched.

Double-clicking desktop files opens them as one would expect.
But double-clicking desktop folders brings up "Find" dialog
box instead!
Right click on folder shows "Find/Print Directory Listing..."
while files show "Open/Print..."
Problem started after installing software a few months ago.

Thanks for any help on this annoying little problem.

Tried that, no difference. BTW, rt-clicking start button
brings up "Find/Print Directory listing..." too, instead
of "Explore...".
