Hello,





If I want to open my USB flash drive by double clicking its icon in my computer, I get "F:\ Application not found" and cannot open it. If I right click the USB Flash identified icon " KINGSTON (F:)" I am getting two "Explore lines, clicking the first explore won't open it but clicking the second explore will open it.
Can anybody help me on this?

Hello Tony!

Well..it seems that nobody have solved this issue. Here's the solution for your issue.

Method 1 (If autorun.inf file is present)

Go to control panel then folder options. Press tab view and check view hidden files and folders.

Then go to the device not opening and explore it. Look if you see autorun.inf and if present delete it. Then disconnect usb device from system and reconnect it.

Method 2 (If autorun.inf file isn't present)

Go to command prompt and write the following.

attrib -s -r -h X:\autorun.inf

press enter and then write

del X:\autorun.inf

press enter and after this disconnect usb device from system and reconnect it.

Note: Please notice that X means the drive letter (F:\, G:\, etc).
