Double click drive not opening

Got the inspiration 2 write upon this topic seeing the numerous problems cropping up.Each time something comes up,we just format the computer but there is a easy way out for most of them.

Yesterday only after scanning the computer "heap" virus was found & removed.But then drive not opening when double clicked..thought of formatting then why not search a bit & reach a solution

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.

U have 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.

Open Start>>Run and type cmd and press enter. This will open a command prompt window. On this command prompt window type the following steps.

2. type cd\

3. type attrib -r -h -s autorun.inf

4. type del autorun.inf

5. now type d: and press enter for d: drive partition. Now repeat steps 3 and 4.
Restart your system and your trouble will be fixed.
