Can't open disc C and D by doble clicking

JusK, on Tuesday 22 July 2008 à 17:30:02
Hello, I'm new at here. I have this problem. I can't open my C and D drives by double clicking on them, instead the drive are beeing opened in my XnView program. But I still can open the drive by right clicking and choosing open. I tried removing the XnView folder from Program Files folder, but when I double clicked on my drive it automatically started Open With box! I've searched the web trying to find the solution I've tried many things one of theme were Disk Heal program I've downloaded it, installed it, run it and red the instruction, the first three lines sad:
"1)Fixes Disk Problems:

Fixes the "Open With" Dialog or "Could not find 'something'" error
which occurs when a drive is opened."
But when I tried to fix it nothing worked. Maybe I did something wrong with the program, maybe it wasn't programs fault after all.
On the web I found two possible reasons: 1 Anti-Virus program deleted autorun file with the virus.
2 It happened because of drives icon change @ Control Panel>Appearance and Theme>Folder Options>File Types.
Now I know it was the second one because I tried to change the drives icon(it didn't work,but in the file type wen I pressed the advance button it showed me that the icon is changed.). I changed the icon beck but still nothing. I'm telling you all this too give you as many information as possible.Ask me if you need more information! Sorry if I've confused somebody.
So that's my problem! Please HELP ME if you can! I'll be VERY grateful for any HELP! Sorry for English, I tried!

IF U R NOT ABLE TO OPEN C: D: DRIVE(APPEAR OPEN WITH WINDOWS)

I have so many method 4 u




Choose the program you want to use to open this file with:

In this case, the â??Always use the selected program to open this kind of fileâ?? option is grayed out.

The symptom occurs because when autorun.vbs is created by trojan horse or virus. The virus normally loads autorun.inf file to root folder of all hard drive or USB drive, and then execute autorun.bat file which contains script to apply and merge autorun.reg into the registry, with possible change to the following registry key to ensure that virus is loaded when system starts:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
Userinit=userinit.exe,autorun.exe

Finally, autorun.bat will call wscript.exe to run autorun.vbs.

When antivirus or security software detected the autorun.vbs file as infected, the file will be deleted or removed or quarantined. However, other files (autorun.*ï¼? and registry value still referring to autorun.vbs, and this document no longer exists, hence the error when users double click to open a drive folder.

To correct and solve this error, follow this steps:

Run Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del or right click on Taskbar)
Stop wscript.exe process if available by highlighting the process name and clicking End Process.
Then terminate explorer.exe process.
In Task Manager, click on File -> New Task (Runâ?¦).
Type â??cmdâ?? (without quotes) into the Open text box and click OK.
Type the following command one by one followed by hitting Enter key:
del c:\autorun.* /f /s /q /a
del d:\autorun.* /f /s /q /a
del e:\autorun.* /f /s /q /a

c, d, e each represents drive letters on Windows system. If there are more drives or partitions available, continue to command by altering to other drive letter. Note that you must also clean the autorun files from USB flash drive or portable hard disk as the external drive may also be infected.

In Task Manager, click on File -> New Task (Runâ?¦).
Type â??regeditâ?? (without quotes) into the Open text box and click OK.
Navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Check if the value name and value data for the key is correct (the value data of userint.exe include the path which may be different than C drive, which is also valid, note also the comma which is also needed):
â??Userinitâ??=â??C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,â??

If the value is incorrent, modify it to the valid value data.



and other
try disk heal software


one more solution:

first go to run then write " regedit" that is registry

then find " ctrl+f"

in this box write "mountpoints2" and delete it ......

then again press "ctrl+f" again find mountpoints2 until all these files are not deleted

then u will see ur problems is solved................



AND


1Open Start >> Run and type regsvr32 /i shell32.dll
2. press ok
3. You will see a message DllRegisterServer and DllInstall in shell32.dll succeeded
4. that�s it


try this 4 step may this slove ur prob



BUT IF U R NOT TECHNICAL

THN PLZ TRY DISK HEAL SOFTWARE ONLY ITS WORK 85%

Try Mhanmet Bhatia's first method, just insted of :
del c:\autorun.* /f /s /q /a
del d:\autorun.* /f /s /q /a
del e:\autorun.* /f /s /q /a
write:
del d:\autorun.* /f /s /q /a
del e:\autorun.* /f /s /q /a
del f:\autorun.* /f /s /q /a
But do ALL of what Mhanment wrote,not just the part above!!!
Also u can try
d:\> attrib -r -s -h autorun.inf
d:\> del autorun.inf
e:\> attrib -r -s -h autorun.inf
e:\> del autorun.inf
f:\> attrib -r -s -h autorun.inf
f:\> del autorun.inf
(Ravi's suggestion) Don't worry you don't have to search. It's all of it.
It should work. If it doesn't work please keep in touch.^_^

Thanks I had the same problem, mine was caused by the computer getting infected with a virus and I figured it was time to reformat anyways, so my problem was with my additional drives, I went with your suggestions of deleting the autoruns on the problem drives and then deleting the mountpoints which fixed my problem.

again Thanks!

I tried all of your methods but nothing worked. I have a dual system on my pc (xp/vista) and the problem is on my 3rd partition! E:\ doesn't open with double-click and I can enter its files only with right-click and Explore. Double-click on E:\ promts me to type in with whick program I want to open the archive with. When I use the command E:\> attrib -r -s -h autorun.inf on run I get the message that E:\ is not a type of archive to open. I had a virus on my xp and the problem occured after formating. Pleaze help me out. mail: angie2505k@hotmail.com

OMG!!! I've tried so many things before, they were so hard to do, and I was afraid to fix something in registry because I new that it might destroy my computer. But now I just tried to do 4 easy steps:
1Open Start >> Run and type regsvr32 /i shell32.dll
2. press ok
3. You will see a message DllRegisterServer and DllInstall in shell32.dll succeeded
4. that's it
And the problem was solved!

shivam & Yogesh - I'm not a BIG expert @ this stuff, but if even the the regedit and cmd doesn't open I think It's serious. U might have to reinstall Windows. =(
Try to figer out what happened, what could cause it, try to fix it & share with experience!
Hoping for the best, Jusk
