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!

How do I enter the thing in command prompt?
Start --> Run --> cmd?
so do I do
c:\> attrib -r -s -h autorun.inf
[Enter]
c:\> del autorun.inf
[Enter]
d:\> attrib -r -s -h autorun.inf
[Enter]
d:\> del autorun.inf

OR
Just type the thing in whole? Help?!

Wonderful! This worked for me. By the way, I got the "cannot find autorun.inf" message as well. What I did was move up to my root.

For example, I was at

C:\Documents and Settings\Dave:

I moved up by using:

C:\Documents and Settings\Dave: CD..

and then:

C:\Documents and Settings: CD..

That put me at:

C:\

Then I was able to use the original commands with -r -s -h along with the deletes.

Reboot fixed the problem.

FYI, the original problem was caused by the NAR.VBS virus and XP Protection Center.

Thanks again,
Dave

JusK,

I have Administrator rights. Since posting I have tried several things and all seemed to fail. As of yesterday I was still locked out of the one drive which caused the autorun.inf to replenish itself on the rest of my PC drives.
This morning McAfee ran as scheduled and all of the drives had the autorun.inf quarantined, not the case of the one drive when I ran McAfee on Wednesday and again on Thursday. I have since opened the problem drive and the autorun.inf is gone and did not replenish itself with the opening of said drive.
I have no clue as to why or how this happened, only that it did and I am very happy about it. Somehow the denied access was removed and I have clean drives once again.
Thanks for the good thoughts and I hope I never have to talk to you again:)

Hello , this also worked for me. I deleted autorun.inf and everything was soleved. thanks a lot. My antivirus did not detect any virus, its up to date (i have Symantec full licencesed version not a cracked one) and it still did not detect this as a threat or a virus or a risk. I think this was from a flash stick that I used. Anyway thanks again.

thank you, Ravi. It really worked. For a novice, such as me, it was difficult to go to command prompt though and also to change from one drive to the other. Otherwise it was straightforward. Thanks once again. Syed

Hello,
I have tried the methods above. The one worked is to remove regedit file "mountpoints2". But after restarting my computer, the problem comes back (Can't open disc C and D by doble clicking). I check the regedit files, the "mountpoints2" file comes back again. Does anyone else see the same issue?
