C Drive can't be opened

[r2da2]

I'm not sure if I got infected by a virus. I can't seem to open my c drive, D
Drive, etc. When I click on my computer > C Drive , it looks for an
application to open it. The C and D drives are seen and recognized, and the
files in it can only be opened when I use a specific application (word, excel
File > Open > C:, etc). How do i resolve this issue?

Try this:
In Explorer click Tools > Folder Options > File types tab > Under Registered
file types, click on icon [NONE] Folder > Click the Advanced button below>
In Edit file type under actions "explore" should be in bold letters meaning
its the default. If not select it and click the button "Set Default". If
"explore" is not present... click the new button type "explore" in the
Actions field and on the Application used to perform action: field click the
Browse button to C:\WIDOWS\explorer.exe. Click Open. Back to Edit file tyoe
box... click explore then click Set Default button... OK

Unfortunately, it still did not work.

I've been resorting to browsing for C:/windows/explorer.exe everytime i open
the drives.

Try this:
In Explorer click Tools > Folder Options > File types tab > Under Registered
file types, click on icon [NONE] Folder > Click the Advanced button below>
In Edit file type under actions "explore" should be in bold letters meaning
its the default. If not select it and click the button "Set Default". If
"explore" is not present... click the new button type "explore" in the
Actions field and on the Application used to perform action: field click the
Browse button to C:\WIDOWS\explorer.exe. Click Open. Back to Edit file tyoe
box... click explore then click Set Default button... OK

I had a look at your links and I wondered about the second one. It
explained how to delete autorun.inf using DOS commands but no one
answered the last question by a user not comfortable with DOS. I did
wonder about other ways of trying to delete:

1. In Safe mode.

2. In normal mode by renaming -changing the file extension to old before
deleting.

3. Using Autoruns to see if it loads on Start Up and disabling it.

Any comments?
