Sounds a little like a virus

Try
1. 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. Similarly repeat step 5 for all your hard disk partition.

Restart your system and your trouble will should be fixed

/fingers crossed.

It may also be helpful if you can take a screen shot of the root of your c:\ and f:\ drive but before you do that temporarily show hidden files and folders + show protected operating system files.

This may help determine if you have a file causing this in the root of your drives, little things like 'zpharaoh.exe' can be a right pain :banghead:

Sorry, you do have to press enter after each command:

1. 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\ (press enter)

3. type attrib -r -h -s autorun.inf (press enter)

4. type del autorun.inf (press enter)

5. Now type F: and press enter for F: drive partition.

If it says that it can't find the file each time you do it then there is no need to worry as it will have nothing to do with auto run however, if it does find the file then after doing these steps see if you can double click your drives then.
