Debbie:

With respect, quit beating up on yourself and thinking you changed a 
setting.  The people who designed Windows 7 figured that (contrary to the 
way you and I think), people were *more* confused looking for files.  When 
your search finds one of the files you wish to access (as you say it does), 
does not hitting right-arrow get you to a list of possible actions?  or 
hitting the Applications Key?  Does not hitting ENTER take the default 
action for a file, as in playing it?
