Do you mean it opens with the folder tree on the left side? Do all your
folders (not just the recycle bin) open that way by default?

If so, it is possible that the default double-click action has been changed
from "open" to "explore". To see if this is the case,

1. Open My Computer
2. Select Tools, Options
3. Select File Types tab
4. Select the "Folder" entry in the list (not "File
Folder") 5. Click Advanced
6. See which entry (explore or open) is highlighted, if any. 7. Select
"open" and then click "Set Default"

This if for XP SP2. Adjust as needed.
