Good afternoon, we have a little issue we did not find a solution for. It is a bit tricky, but I hope somebody can help. When we double-click a hard disk entry in the Explorer on one of our Windows 2003 Server machines, the Internet Explorer opens, instead of simply opening the drive and listing the content. Another "symptom" is that the context menu (right-click the drive entry, both C: and E: in this case) shows "Auto", instead of "Explore". We already tried re-setting the standard shell (run: regsvr32 / i shell 32.dll) and reviewed the registry settings in \drive\shell, file\shell, folder\shell as proposed on various troubleshooting sites on the Internet, but nothing worked so far. Thanks for any proposal you might have. Cheers, KS

Hi, It seems the system has been infected by viruses. Please update the definition of the antivirus programs and perform a full scan. If the problem continues, please follow the steps below to check if there is a autorun.inf on each drive. If so, delete it. 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. Restart your system and your trouble will be fixed. For more information and support on virus issues, I would also like to suggest that you call Microsoft PC Safety telephone number, 1-866-727-2338 (1-866-PCSAFETY).
