Hey Echo, off topic question. You seem pretty knowledgeable about the various Windows installations, so maybe you can help me on this one. A friend of mine at work, with Windows XP, clean installation. When you go to "My computer" and bring up the network drives, double-clicking on one of the drives doesn't open it, but brings up search or autoplay or something for the drive. When you right-click on the drive, the menu comes up with "open" as one of the choices, but it's not the top choice like it is on the computer in my office. I'm fairly certain that what's happening is that the order of choices for this menu is scrambled from the default, and Windows is pulling up the top choice from the menu as the default. Our tech guy came over and said, "just right click to open a network drive", but I think there must be a configuration option somewhere to change the order of choices in the menu. Do you have any idea where that is? Thanks.

I'm not really understanding the question correctly... are you able to do what you need to get done, but it's just a little funky?
