Guest John Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 I've disabled auto run on the removable disk drives. When I double click the icon in my computor or click "Open" I get the "open with" window. If I choose "open with" in the rt click menu it opens right away???? What's going on...??? John

Enter command prompt on WIN XP. HOW? Click Start > Run > CMD 2. Navigate to drive C: HOW? type cd\ >>>>>>>>>[i tried fd\ here..] 3. Type Dir /a To show all files in root drive. Then identify the autorun.inf file (you may find other autorun-named files there. You this same method to get them out) 4. Type attrib autorun.inf This will help you get the file attributes on the autorun.inf. Depending on the outcome (which can be ash, i.e. Archived, System file, Hidden), do the following: 5. Type attrib -a -s -h autorun.inf (assuming above result). This will make the file a normal file 6. Type del autorun.inf

I went through cmd cd\ C:\>f: F:\>dir Attrib auotrun.inf etc,etc and found [[AutoRun] open=ntdelect.com ;shell\open=Open(&O) shell\open\Command=ntdelect.com shell\open\Default=1 ;shell\explore=Manager(&X) shell\explore\Command=ntdelect.com] Deleted file I find the drives a little confusing as C and D (has the software restore) have data, the others are just numbers until they get a (eg flash card in them??) I didn't have to do the task manager stuff. Your advice: Control Panel--> Folder Options--> File Types-->Drives--> Advanced --> Set Default was what fixed the problem. I didn't understand what to do initially, but earlier I had added an "open" command (had been "find" and ""open with")... I highlighted "open" and set that action as default. Thanks a lot John
