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

Hi
I had the same probem.Some of the solutions are already mentioned on this forum before.
Open REGEDIT file
Find "MOUNTPOINTS2" using Ctrl + F
Delete the same
Repeat the process unless all the "MOUNTPOINTS2" are deleted
Restart you pc and see if it still works - if nottry this out.
1.Downlod this simple freeware " tweak ui" from:
https://download.cnet.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.
Regards.

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.

If you have windows xp, go to run button and type cmd
step-1: type attrib -h -r -s autorun.inf
step-2: type del autorun.inf
Now restart the computer. Your problem will resolve.

Hi Nasir,
I just clean installed XP pro and my logical drives did not open on double click. I tried your command line fix and it works like a magic!
Thanks genius!

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.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!

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.
Please advice !!

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
Feb 2, 2009 at 06:11 AM
@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...
regards,
tempdbs :)
Feb 11, 2009 at 05:28 AM
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)
Restart the system again.
You will be done.
