How to turn it back to open. I tried to restore but it didn't work. What caused this? How can I correct it?

Sorry but a few months later we have a better answer.

Nope! It still opened Windows Desktop Search. I even unistalled and removed the Windows desktop search program. But Search still opens when I double click on a folder.

"unistalled and removed the Windows desktop search program." is not a known fix for this one.
