Unable To Open Hard Drives By Double Clicking and Right Clicking

This problem is generally caused by most of the viruses which infect windows XP system. They block or restrict your access to any of the drives.

Normally when a virus infects a windows system which causes a drive opening problem, it automatically creates a file named autorun.inf in the root directory of each drive.

This autorun.inf file is a read only ,hidden and a system file and the folder option is also disabled by the virus. This is deliberately done by the virus in order to protect itself. autorun.inf initiates all the activities that the virus performs when you try to open any drive.

You have to just delete this file and restart your system to correct this problem.
