I had this problem too, then I made a new topic here and guys like Ravi and Manmeent helped me out her's what Ravi wrote (only instead of C write E and F):
go to command prompt and write this command

c:\> attrib -r -s -h autorun.inf
c:\> del autorun.inf
d:\> attrib -r -s -h autorun.inf
d:\> del autorun.inf
restart the pc
And here's the best and easyest  suggestion of what Manmeet wrote(it worked for me!):

1Open Start >> Run and type regsvr32 /i shell32.dll
2. press ok
3. You will see a message DllRegisterServer and DllInstall in shell32.dll succeeded
4. that's it
SFE and tol PLEASE write how you solved this problem!

I made this batch file which does all the drives I have then renamed each drive  which was also necessary.
All drives now open normally. Note that each pause allowed you to see what happened.
Prior to all of this I installed recovery console and reset master boot record.
I also ran hijackthis_sfx.exe and mbam-setup.exe

CD\

c:
 attrib -r -s -h autorun.inf 
del autorun.inf 
PAUSE

I:
 attrib -r -s -h autorun.inf 
 del autorun.inf 
PAUSE

L:
 attrib -r -s -h autorun.inf 
del autorun.inf 
PAUSE

K:
 attrib -r -s -h autorun.inf 
del autorun.inf 
PAUSE

M:
attrib -r -s -h autorun.inf 
del autorun.inf 

PAUSE

It says:

help!

Harshy · Answer

Hiya,

For all of ya who say that when they open command prompt and type:-

c:\> attrib -r -s -h autorun.inf 

and it says 'c:\' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Type this first:- 

cd\

It will open a new line starting with C:\> and then type the commands that freddy has said in his post,

and when ya have typed the command of the C: drive, type F:, G: or whatever the names of other drives you have in ur pc and again type the same commands listed by freddy.

Ya problem is solved enjoy!!!

With all respect to the helpers not even one of the above mentioned steps worked for me. In the end when I was really getting desperate I happened to stumble upon a techfix page which led me to this website:

http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm

On visiting this page choose the Drive Association Fix (Restores default settings for hard drives).

On clicking that you will be asked to download a zip file which you of course do so. Then extract and run the zip file or just open it .

On running it you should find that your 'Double Clicking drive' problem is fixed. 

Thanks.

I hope this helps.

Hi for me none of this solutions worked!! but I have another solutions thats working perfectly and easy.

go to windows instalation folder , open regedit and 
Completely delete the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Explorer/MountPoints2.
This last step should be repeated for all user accounts on your computer. You should then restart your computer and that's it.

HUSSAIN · Answer

open run program and type "regedit", open "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE " in it open "SOFTWARE" in it open "MICROSOFT" in it open "WINDOWS" in it open "EXPORER" in it delete the "MOUNT POINT" or MOUNT POINT2"

unable to open D:\ drive by double clicking

vinay_p9 · Answer

Hi
I was facing this issue with my office servers
what I found is below
We receive the access denied due the fact that there is a autorun.inf file located on the share drive, If we remove this file/rename it to another extension we will not get this "Access denied" message.
When we open this file we see that the *.inf file is tending to an *.exe . Generally these files are created when a system has infections (the virus creates an *.exe file and also a *.inf file) like the virus which spread from a USB drive
The antivirus removes the *.exe but it does not recognize the *.inf. Hence when we try to map the drive we get this error message.

I just renamed /deleted the autorun.inf file
Remapped the drive and issue resolved
This is the simplest solutiion
Try this :)

pawan · Answer
