opening multiple files in explorer

[turbo24]

Hey my computer keep doing the strangest thing and I thought someone here may know how i can fix it. If i multiple select files from within windows explorer, and select to open them, it will open them, however the dialogue box for moving or copying the files to new location comes up for every one of them. I just hit cancel and then the next file's box will come up and then i cancel and it will go on until its gone thru them all. Its pretty annoying, though its not damaging anything.
I multiple select and then go up to file, open, when i open them.

so how do i get rid of that?
I have windows xp pro, sp2

Any paticular reason why you're opening them?
What happens if you don't open them and select the copy or move function?

if i select copy or move...well, it does just that - it copies or moves.
Why am I opening files..? Because I want to open them. I am speaking about doc files or excel file and the like, graphic files etc.
