Whenever I double-click on any drive/folder in My Computer, a Search window opens.
SOLUTION:

Open regedit and goto following keys one by one:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell
In right-side pane, delete the "Default" key. If it doesnt work then delete the key "find" under
both.

Whenever I open a folder, another folder with the same name is created under it.

SOLUTION:
Your system is infected by a variant of Indonesian virus called Brontok/Rontokbro. It
creates a sub-folder in a folder with same name. Most of the times it comes from mobile memory
cards. Scan with a good anti-virus and remove the virus. Also download HijackThis and scan your
system with it in Safe Mode, then fix following entries:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\SSVICHOSST.exe
F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell=Explorer.exe SSVICHOSST.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Yahoo Messengger] C:\WINDOWS\system32\SSVICHOSST.exe
O7 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Policies\System, DisableRegedit=1
You can also post the log file contents here and I'll tell you which entries should be fixed

Whenever I double-click on any drive in My Computer, "Open with" dialog box opens
OR I get following error message:
Cannot find copy.exe.
 Make sure you have typed the name correctly and then try again.

SOLUTION:
 Enable "Show hidden files" option in "Tools -> Folder Options" and then search for
"Autorun.inf" file in all drives and if you get them in root of any drive (e.g. in C:\, D:\ and so
on), delete them.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,
