Not able to Open Drives by Double Clicking, it shows the option Open With

This is a Virus Issue.Normally when a virus infects a windows system which causes a drive opening problem, it automatically creates a file named autorun.inf in the root directory of each drive.This autorun.inf file is a read only ,hidden and a system file and the folder option is also disabled by the virus. This is deliberately done by the virus in order to protect itself. autorun.inf initiates all the activities that the virus performs when you try to open any drive.
You have to just delete this file and restart your system to correct this problem.Follow the below steps to troubleshoot this problem.


Run the below command in the root of all drives.

attrib -r -s -h autorun.inf
del autorun.inf
Restart the PC.

1.Open Start >> Run and type regsvr32 /i shell32.dll
2. Press ok
3. You will see a message DllRegisterServer and DllInstall in shell32.dll succeeded

Then it will work fine.
