When I click on my Local (D:) icon, AutoPlay function initiates

[Mike]

When I try to access my Local (D hard drive, instead of
opening my drive, an AutoPlay function overrides the open
function. I am prompted with a "Cannot find program"
notice. When I right-click, AutoPlay is the bold
function on top but I am able to open my drive with the
Open function. How do I make the Open the automatic
function?

 

[Ramesh]

Open D: drive, check for a filename called "Autorun.inf" - autorun.exe.
Delete this file.
Restart Windows.

There is an autorun.inf file in the root of your D drive. Delete that
file and the correct behavior for the drive will be restored.

Hi Mike,

Check to see if an autorun.inf file exists on the root of D and delete it.
