HI MOHAMED

THIS MALFUNCTION (i.e. When I double click a drive i always get the "open
with" menu ) IS CAUSED BY A VIRUS NAMED AUTORUN.INF

THIS IS NOT A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM

I WILL TELL YOU HOW TO SOLVE IT

GOT TO START -> RUN

IN RUN TYPE CMD

THEN TYPE UR DRIVE'S NAME (FOR EXAMPLE C: TO OPEN C DRIVE YOU WILL HAVE TO
PUT IN "cd\" AND OTHERS AS d: e: f: AND SO ON)

SO THIS IS HOW

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>cd\

C:\>attrib -r -h -s autorun.inf

C:\>del autorun.inf

you might have to restart your computer after this
