When I try to open a file/folder I go directly to a "search" instead of it just opening it! WHY??

Every time that I try to open a folder, for instance pictures, instead of just opening the folder my computer takes me to a "search". It hasn't always done this, but I can't remember when it started. It drives me crazy because I always have to right click to get into things instead of just simply double-clicking. Please help me fix this problem... and I'm not a computer person so please walk me through it step by step without using too much computer-talk. Thanks!
