Double Click C Drive at My Computer And Not Opening Fix
Author: Raymond28 Jan
A lot of virus creates an autorun.inf file at the root of your local drives and USB flash drive. The reason for this is when you open My Computer and tries to access a drive, it will run the virus to infect your computer. Very often anti-virus is able to remove executable virus from system but not autorun.inf. This is because autorun.inf that’s located at the root of your drive is only an instruction file that tells Windows what to automatically run when you access the drive from My Computer.
So even after the virus being cleaned, you’ll find that you’re unable to access your C drive from My Computer. Some people double click C drive, a search window will appear. For some, it’d say that it cannot find the script or file to run. Most common of all, when double click C drive, it gives you an option to choose a program to open.
For computer experts, one look and they’ll know they had to remove the autorun.inf file from C drive. Usually the autorun.inf cannot be easily deleted because it has system, read-only, and hidden file attribute. You can go to command prompt to remove the file attributes and then delete it. Sounds easy for an advance computer user but might be tough for a novice. Here’s how to easily double clicking C drive at My Computer and not opening problem.
Disk Heal is a useful tool that restores the condition of your storage device after being infected by a virus. Disk Heal is a useful tool that performs many functions. Initially it was a program which fixed disk problems that occur after a virus has been removed with a few additional features like changing the icon of a drive. Currently it performs various other tweaks as well. More will be added soon.
To fix your C drive problem, download, install and run Disk Heal. Make sure you have administrator privileges. Click the Fix button, type the drive letter and click Fix. Other than fixing drive not opening problem, it can also restore folder options, task manager, and registry editor. Just like what RRT does.

Disk Heal is FREE and portable that works on Windows NT, 2000, XP and Vista. After installing Disk Heal, go to C:\Program Files\Disk Heal\Disk Heal v1.47 and copy the Disk Heal.exe to your USB flash drive. Great and useful tool.
There’s another tool called Flash Disinfector by sUBs which you can use to easily remove USB flash drive malwares… It also works on local hard drive. Very easy to use. Just run Flash_Disinfector.exe and it will tell you to plug in your flash drive that is infected by malware. The screen will then go blank for a while. After a few seconds, you’ll see a popup window saying “Done!!”. I’ve personally used it to remove Bha.dll.vbs and it works perfectly.
Flash Disinfector will target the following Flash malwares(in general):
W32/Perlovga (copy.exe | host.exe)
VBS_RESULOWS.A (Hacked by Godzilla, Hacked by Moozilla)
Bha.dll.vbs
w32automa worm (Autorun.vbs)
Trojan.Win32.VB.atg | Win32/Dzan | Worm_vb.bnr (tel.xls.exe | mmc.exe)
W32/RJump.worm (RavMonE)
Worm.Win32.Delf.bf | W32.Fujacks (spoclsv.exe)
W32.Fujacks.BH (Fucker.vbs)
WORM_AGENT.PGV (soundmix.exe)
W32/Hakaglan.worm (RVHost.exe)
Trojan.Win32.VB.ayo [AVP] (Macromedia_Setup.exe)
Trojan.VBS.DeltreeY.b#1 (Destrukto!!! | destrukto.vbs)
What will Flash Disinfector do:
- Clean up junks created by flash malwares
- Deletes autorun.inf from every root folder
- Fix back damages done to your system

thx for this info raymond
Thanks for this Raymond, Disk heal is surely an amazing tool. ..Downloading it right away!
Thanks for this nice tool Raymond, I used to do it manually, I go search for the autorun.inf file and try to delete it…
I can’t see hidden files in my computer
When I click on “show hidden files” under folder option and click OK then I reopen folder option, I find option changed to “don’t show hidden files” automatically. I think something is preventing the settings to be saved. I have cleaned my system with Kaspersky and used Hijackthis etc. but still the same problem.
Will anyone help me to solve this problem please?
Sohail, that’s because you still have virus in your computer. Try going to forum and get help there.
thanks for this… i was currently facing the same problem with my pen drive
thnx for ur valuable post and disk heal set
Thanks mate
i accendentally install a crack.exe but iam able to see my local disk but my real problem is my desktop taskbar and icon is kind of refreshing in about 2 sec. thats why i cant entirely see whats inside my local drive and cant erase the .inf is this tool can help me???
iam facing that problem at the moment any suggestions will be gratefull
thanks ray,
God bless the internet! Thanks for the shareware Flash Disinfector it really works. I tried many well known antivirus but it doen’t fix my drive virus. Now I don’t need to reformat my C: and I save my other program licenses.
You can remove , system read-only hidden file by disabling “ Hide protected operating files system files” from folder option , and remember to make show hidden files and folder , however disabling this option is dangers, because you might accidentally delete an important system file
Thank you
thx Ramond
I really appreciate ur efforts to help people out.
regards
If u can/know how use dual-booting. In Ubuntu you can access your hard drive and delete the autorun.inf file. If you want u can also run an antivirus for linux like avast!
Thanks Raymond.

Perfect solution solved my problem perfectly perfectly.
Thanks for posting and disk heal is the biz and it worked so fast.
Thanks again.
There\’s another way to create an unaccessible empty Autorun.inf so double-click on any removable drive won\’t open anything. This may stops accidentally opening the virus executable. Origin from \”http://bbs.et8.net/bbs/showthread.php?t=929213%E3%80%82\” (in simplified Chinese).
It works on FAT/FAT16/FAT32. Just change the normal file attribute from Archive (0×20) to Device (0×40) or set the file attribute bit6.
To do so, create an empty \”AUTORUN.INF\” at the root of the removable drive and make sure the filename in upper case. Run Tiny Hexer or WinHex to search the whole drive image for exact \”AUTORUN INF \” (two spaces within). The filename should start at the biginning of a 32-byte boundary and these 32 bytes should end with 6 zeros. Replace \”AUTORUN INF \” with \”\”AUTORUN INF@\” and save. Eject the removable drive and insert again. Check to see if you can read, rename or delete AUTORUN.INF.
T H A N K Y O U V E R Y M U C H!

hi,, thanks a lot,,, it works perfectly fine…. my problem is solved,, thx
O Disc Cure resolveu meu problema que era o seguinte. Meu HD é particionado em 3 partes, uma é o drive C em que está o Windows e mais outras duas partições, essas maiores, onde estão todos meus arquivos, por algum problema ou vírus, no caso o autorun.inf, me impedia de acessar o drive E com dois cliques. Só conseguia acessar atraves do explorer digitando E:\, mas o atalho para faze-lo diretamente em “Meu computador” não existia. Fiz o download do Disc Cure, abri o programa e somente digitei a letra do drive que estava com problema e pronto, após reiniciar a máquina tudo voltou ao normal. Obrigado pela dica.
Thanks for all, disc cure solved my problem. I just post some in portuguese and notice that all page are in english. LOL
One of my 3 parts of my computer didn’t work when I was trying to access in my computer in the usual 2 clicks. I just opened the Disc Cure and add the letter drive I had problem and ordered to fix the current drive. It works fine after boot the system. Thank you for all.
thanx alot, got my problem solved

Well done mate,
This was driving me crazy, dl’d the disk heal app, did the job. I thought I was in the clear when I deleted all traces of virus with avast antivirus… untill I found that i could no longer open my local drives with the a simple double click, Disk heal was the icing on the “sweet – my pc works again” cake.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

What will i do? Thanks for your help raymond
Modifying the registry can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. We cannot guarantee that problems resulting from modifications to the registry can be solved. Use the information provided at your own risk.
The first and easiest way to hide all the drives in My Computer is via a policy. If you don’t understand how to use policies you should review Microsoft’s Guide to Policies and Profiles.
After locking the drive when u try to open it, u will see a msgbox like this”This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator”.
Thanks a ton, this has really helped me.
Excellent software
men u rock..thanks for giving out this free goodies
