Then I have change the icons from downloaded icons. but now the drives and folders not open on double click.
what can I do?
Hi Verify first whether your system is affected by "TROJAN" or any other viruses
If "YES" Remove the smae by using "ANTIVIRUS" S/W (Preferably AVG !!)
Go to C:\Windows (O.K how to open C or C:\Windows is your questions ..Correct !! MAy be try to right click and use open with option..and select C:\Windows\Explorer.exe OR system may open show openwith window..click on browse and select c:\windows\explorer.exe)
Open REGEDIT file
Find "MOUNTPOINTS2" using Ctrl + F
Delete the same
Repeat the process unless all the "MOUNTPOINTS2" are deleted
Now your system will be OK. (reveied these inputs from thsi forum only)=Thanks to the member
Thanks for the tip and it really work I can open all the drives normally.But it comes back once the computer restarts.
I'm doing it everytime I restart the pc.
I would really appreciate if you can help me out to resolve this permanently.
I'm using Avast 4.5 and its doing the auto update everyday and it could not find out any trogen or virus in the pc.
I suggest AVG Free Version which is effective on cleaning the Trojan's. First scan and clean yr computer and then go ahead with REGEDIT > Mountpoints cleaning - All the best

@mvmeswar -
As you prefer, I too prefer AVG only. after that I tried the RegEDIT option (for cleaning the mountpoints2).
For that moment, the Drives will open and after a small duration (not calculated exactly ...), the drives will not open and asks thru which program you need to open... Kindly advise me...... as soon as possible...
I did in this sequence..may be you can tryout the same.
First to Run the AVG and fix the virus.
(if you know by which installation you can even remove that one - Recommended - As some Trojan will infect in the form of .dll files and start corrupt one by one.
Open the regedit and remove all "mountpoint2".
Restart the system.
Again search for the MOUNTPOINTS in REGEDIT to remove. (this is to find that the Virus affected program is in the startup, if so then with MSCONFIG or CCleaner disable the program and if possible remove the program)
Yes that is right just open the registry by runing the regedit comand and find the MOUNTPOINTS2 by CTRL+F and delete them cequentially then everything would be OK
I've same problem and fix by tips from mvmeswar
Its working !!! Thanks pal
This I'm doing:
Scan virus by NOD32, its found Win32/AutoRun.ABH worm, cleaned by deleting - quarantined
(Event occurred during an attempt to access the file by the application: any Anti SpyWare).

Hey Nasir, thanks a million! your soln really helped. The registry value in Directory\Shell was set to FIND (the same info you see when you go to Folder options->Advanced->extension types.
Thank you once again!
Nasir, man, can I ask you what about the information on the hard drive ... C, D or F... ? Is it delete it ? Or keep the files and other all in the broken hard drive ?

Hi
I had the same probem.Some of the solutions are already mentioned on this forum before.

Restart you pc and see if it still works - if nottry this out.
1.Downlod this simple freeware " tweak ui" from:
http://www.download.com/Tweak-UI/3000-2072_4-10002117.html 2.Install it.
3.Open the software locate for"My Computer>Drives>U'l see drives - listing from a to z
4.Uncheck all the drives which u dont ve on ur pc.
5.Then clickon "Autoplay > Drives > Uncheck all unwanted drives from the list.
Then goto to"regedit" and continue with the first step mentioned above.
This will be a permanent fix-it would not re-create the "mountpoints2" file when you restart ur pc.
When I try to double click any folder then it doesn't open directly, instead of this SEarch window opens. For opening any folder, first I have to do right click on that folder then do open or explore, then only folder would be opened. pLease send me some solution on my email id.
Good day guys ,
it really is annoying isnt it ! , so here is the series of solution
> run a trojan,virus,malware remover , preferable all in one pack prg. make sure system is clean
>as described follow the regedit steps and delete all MOUNTPOINTS2 till its clean ,
> here is the trick , if u all cleared it up , cos of an autorun file on every drive , (C,D,E) if u reboot now it will come back as u restart ! DONT REBOOT NOW , we'r not done yet
>if u r one of the guys having problems running the cmd prompt of ''type attrib -h -r -s autorun.inf '' , DO THIS
> since u can access ur drives now , go to ontrol pannel , pull up Folder Options, select SHOW hidden files , down below , UNCHECK (hide protected sys. files ) , apply and lick ok
>go back to explorer , in C> drive now u will see a autorun.inf , DELETE it , do this for all drives u have , once u finish , uncheck the settings we changed in folder options (hide sys.files , show hidden) close explorer , restart
pc ,
:) now u will be able to use explorer , but dont forget its becose of a trojan , so prob. somewhere in the sys. u may still have a virus ...

Thank you so much! I followed ur steps, and the doubleclicking works fine. Although, I didn't find the autorun.inf, and the d: partition disk thing didn't work for me. It was interesting to see that the value in the Registry was FIND. That is what I've been seeing when I tried repairing using FOLDER OPTIONS.
when I type attrib -r -h -s, its sayin dat file not found autorun.inf ..
my problem is dat when I double click on my D, H drive it says "drive is not formatted, do you want to format it now...." plz giv me a solution to fix my problem...
