If there is still problem then you can check new thing.
If you have a file shortcut name as "my file.lnk "
If it is shortcut of folder then.

Then open cmd and try to open

" start h:/my file " if it is folder.

suppose if it text file " start h:\my file.txt "

If this is working then there is new type of Virus. I have faced same problem. Install any antivirus, update it and perform full scan.

Hello,
# Download UsbFix on your computer, and execute it.
# It will launch automatically, and a shortcut will be created on your desktop.
# Connect all your external data sources to your PC (Usb keys, external drives, etc...) Do not open them.
# Choose " Deletion " option.

#The computer will re-start, and it may be longer than usually.

# UsbFix will display a message at re-start.

# Click "OK" to start cleaning.
# Copy/paste the report here.
