Some users are complaining that when they open My Computer drives by double click or right click and Open then it does not open Drive contents and some thing else opens. There are two solution to it try both.
Solution 1
A related post is here Get Open With Dialog When Opening Windows Drives
This problem can be due to autorun.inf file present in the drive or corrupted registry.
This problem was solved by Smart Virus Remover
Solution 2
But Some people again complained that it did not fix the problem so I have finally came up with a registry fix.
After running it do a favour to me by adding comments on this page
Download Registry Fix For Windows XP only
download the file drive.reg

No need to download any tool from web. Just open a notepad> and save as> “autorun.inf” dont write anything in it. then save it in ur desktop> then copy it to the affected drives> and paste it> a message will ask you to replace the autorun.inf> click YES. And you’re done. Restart your computer, its very important.

Use the below mentioned method only after removing the virus with a full system scan.
Go to the web page mentioned below:
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm
On visiting this page choose the Drive Association Fix (Restores default settings for hard drives).
On clicking that you will be asked to download a zip file which you of course do so. Then extract and run the zip file or just open it .
On running it you should find that your ‘Double Clicking drive’ problem is fixed.
Thanks.
I hope this helps.
Gonzo
You can even use the method mentioned above before cleaning up your system but maybe you’ll find the problem will come back again cause the virus causing the problem is still there.
Though many have tried and successfully restored the double click problem using the above method without cleaning their system up.
Gonzo
There’s no need to restart your computer using my method.
Sorry for so many re-posts.

My computere is not open, when i try to open it by double clicking the icon it hangs up and not opening or else not showing the contents in NORMAL mode but when i try the same in SAFE MODE it was opening. Can anyone give me out of this problem.
Muhammad Abdullah
run safe mode,run smart virus remover and click del autorun.inf files. this would work fine if the virus has been removed from your system using some anti-virus prog

You can just Download a software “autorun eater” and install it. it will solve your problem.
