    Windows Explorer, letters always trigger a search


    Hi, i have the annoying issue that i always activate the windows search bar, when i type a letter while browsing files. On my other computer, the cursor jumps as expected to to the next file or folder that starts with the letter. Which settings do i need to change, to get the default setting back?

    Go to folder options >> Select "View" tab >> Scroll down till last to find option>> 2nd option "Select the typed item in the view"...by mistakenly You must have selected "Automatically type in the search Box"., that created a problem.

    Go to "Organise" in the command bar, choose "Folder and Search Options". Choose the "View" tab. Scroll down and check "Select the typed item in the view".

Note that this ONLY occurs in Explorer. Diskpart and Disk Management list the original drive letter for the USB, and nothing else, so I cannot get rid of the extra drive letters via those utilities. How do I get rid of the extra drive letters that Explorer is showing? This is really annoying me!
