Chose program to open C drive?
I think I've got a virus problem that Norton didn't catch. I've been trying to get into my C:\ drive, but when I go to My Computer and double-click to open the drive, a dialog box pops up and asks me to choose a program. I can find Windows Explorer to open it (I have to browse through my system to find it first, though), but the dialog will not let me choose to always use this program. I have tried to alter the way the drive opens through the Folder Options dialog in My Computer, but when I choose Windows Explorer from the same place that I found it to open it before, a dialog comes up and says "The specified program cannot be found. Make sure the file name and path are correct." I know they're correct because I just used the same program from the same location to open it before. I'm not sure what else I should do. I have already run Norton, and it didn't find anything at all. Could someone please advise? Thanks!

attrib -r -s -h c:\autorun.inf
del c:\autorun.inf

Thanks for the help. However, it seemed to work in the cmd window, but I still can't open my C:\ drive.

I think I've got a similar issue that rikki1983 experienced. I've been trying to get into my C:\ drive, but when I go to My Computer and double-click or right clicked to open the drive, a dialog box pops up and asks me to choose a program. I have tried to alter the way the drive opens through the Folder Options dialog in My Computer. I tried downloading the file (Name: XP_folder_open.vbs, Type: VBScripe Script File, 503 bytes, From: www.dougknox.com) that was recommeded to rikki1983 but C:\ Drive still will not open. Could someone please advise? Thanks!
