When you right click the drive, are Open, Explore and Search the first three
items at the top?

Is Open in BOLD?

If not Open, Explore and Search is not the order what is?

What is listed in BOLD?

In the mean time, try this.

Start | Run | Type or paste: regsvr32 /i shell32 | Click OK

Fixed it. It was a virus that part of it's nature was to infect D
drive onwards, by putting autorun.ini and pagefile.pif on that drive.
The virus cleaner deleted pagefile.pif but not the autorun.ini so i
deleted that in safe mode and all is well.

from http://forums.pcpitstop.com/index.php?showtopic=124058 where it
looks like i had the Infostealer Wowcraft.D Trojan. I'm still
wondering if there are bits of it still in my registry.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the feedback.
