I am facing a problem when i am trying to open my hard disk drives by going
through "My Computer". Olny C:/ Drive is opening and by clicking any of the
drive like D:/ OR E:/, a Command Prompt Window is Opening like a flash and
drives not being opened. Please Guide Me About It.

go to start/run, and type:

diskmgmt.msc

Check the drive from there, and see if you can open them there.

Try the "drives", "directory" and "folders" association fixes listed here:

Fix File Associations.

Thank You very much Mr.MArk Ferguson
for giving me a help, but only the command you suggested diskmgmt.msc is
working and showing all drives further mouse's right click option to "Open",
Open the drive in new window but still from "My Computer" i am unable to open
drives by double click on them.

Right-click the drive and choose "Explore". Does that work?

Enable the showing of hidden files, extensions for known types and protected
OS system files in Explorer's Tools > Folder Options > View.

Rename D:\autorun.inf (if exists) to autorun.txt . Open autorun.txt in notepad
to try to determine what process created the file.

Not sure what you mean.

Rename to autorun.txt

\autorun.inf is used to automatically run a process when a drive is "opened".
You'll find it in the root of many installation CD/DVDs

Delete the file autorun.inf from the root folder of any drive that is Not a
CD or DVD drive.
