That's standard Windows behavior. Right click and choose "Explore" that may be the screen you want.

Deleting that Registry folder only fixes the problem until the computer is restarted. the autorun file gets created again at system start up.

Run--CMD--
ATTRIB -H -S -R c:\Autorun.inf
if the file is found in the Drive then give.
DEL c:\Autorun.inf.
similarly you can do it for all drives.by adding d:\ or e:\
& if you dont want this trouble again just write MKDIR c:\autorun.inf for each drive, this will create folder so that virus can't attack again if it already exist.

It's probebly MountPoint2 virus, all you need to do is delete it on the registry and then delete the autorun.inf files on each drive
