When I double click on the icon of my external hard disc Maxtor One touch the contents are displayed as Short Cuts only. When I double click any of the short cuts ity gives a message "Windows cannot find 'F\RECYCLER\2369e205.exe' and does not open further. How to avoid these only short cuts and no further access?

Step 1:
Click on the link below and download the file "AutorunExterminator"

Extract it --> Double-click on "AutorunExterminator"
This will remove the recycler from the drives


Step 2:
For XP, go to Run and type CMD
Click OK
For Vista and 7, go to Start and type CMD
Right-click on it and select Run as Administrator
Now run this command:

1) On double clicking the Autorun Exterminator the Recycler is not removed
