Hi,

I think it's a virus and after running the scans maybe the were deleted or quarantined by they left infected files that cannot work anymore. So

To open the drive c:, do this
On the standard toolbar, click on the button with the name folder and a folder icon, it's going to change your window to windows explorer folders hierarchy on your left hand side of that window, you can open C: by expanding it and any other drive, folders etc.


I thought using cmd or the run command is a bit tiresome that's why i provided you with this option.

Otherwise i would advise you to repair your windows.

Have a wonderful day and Enjoy!!! Mwanasoft® Solutions
