If u can't open / access drive C, D, E.... it shows open with? take a look of this tutorial, i was the same problem and its take a lot of my time to find right solution on da net, so i guess this will be good SEO ranked

first fix hidden files

Show Hidden Files and Folders not working?

Method 1:

Go to registry editor by running regedit in the run box.
Go to this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

In the right hand area, double click hidden and change the value to 1.

Now you’re all set to go. Check it in your tools menu if the changes have taken effect.

Method 2:

1. Click “Start” -> “Run…” (or press Windows key + R)
2. Type “regedit” and click “Ok”.
3. Find the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\
Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL
4. Look at the “CheckedValue” key… This should be a DWORD key. If it isn’t, delete the key.
5. Create a new key called “CheckedValue” as a DWORD (hexadecimal) with a value of 1.
6. The “Show hidden files & folders” check box should now work normally. Enjoy!

Cannot open local drive C, D, E... directly?

go to tools -> folder options -> select "show hidden files" -> uncheck "show system files"

go to each drive, start -> run -> c: or d: or e:

delete the file with the name "autorun.inf"

restart comp OR kill explorer.exe via taskmanager, then, file -> new task (run) -> explorer.exe

this will solve the problem....

thats a pretty common well we cant say virus, it rather more than a trojan, it has many variants which can also perform following things.

Disable task manager
Disable registry editor
Disable show hidden files
Creates a file named autorun.inf & each time u open a drive it executes,

Vanja the above procedure u told not always works, it will only enable you to view hidden files, but the new variants are too clever for that, and as soon as u enable registry settings, they disable it. The best thing is to find vbs scripts which enable registry tools, task manager, and other settings, or the best thing is to download Process Explorer, which is freely available from microsoft.com, and close the running virus execution. then download New_Folder.exe_Removal_Tool_2.5 which will help you enable all disabled settings.
