    One of my friends came up with an idea and it worked great. The idea was to create a blank autorun.inf file in the drive having problems. And it was perfect .. now I can open all my drives (after placing the blank autorun.inf in the drive) by double clicking them.

    To make a blank autorun.inf, open notepad and Save As “autorun.inf”. Place the autorun.inf in the affected drive.

    Having the same problem? Did this trick solve your problem or you had a better solution? Share your experiences.

    UPDATE: Please use the following DOS command for the ease of deleting the autorun.inf file.
    C:\>attrib -S -H -R C:\autorun.inf
    C:\>del /F C:\autorun.inf
    Replace C with your drive that you want to disable autorun of
