File extension definitions

Hi
Whenever I double click a "Drive" in My Computers it opens a new window in search mode
I checked under folder options/file types and noticed that Drive has "find" associated to it.
I can't change it
I would rather have "open" as default but does not exist in advanced settings.

Also when I right-click the drive, the popup menu has the different possibilities (open, explore etc) and Search which is first and emphasized

What to do?
Thanks
Danny

Even though it says it's for folder open, the script on this page
(http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts_d...older_open.htm) from Doug
Knox also fixes drive open problems.
