    Hello
    Try restarting your computer
    if that doesn't work, then you might be infected with a virus!!

    Go to Start/Run and type in:

    regsvr32 /i shell32

    Click OK.

    Restart your computer.

    This is newbie onurb. I just joined and am trying to get to know what's what and how I can communicate my problems properly.
    I have a similar problem to newbie atree - "double clicking c:, d:,e:, shows 'OPEN WITH' menu "
    When I click on any dirive in My Computer I get the Windows Desktop Search page. I can open any drive by right clicking on the drive and selecting Open from the drop down menu.
    Would this require a different solution than that given to newbie atree???

    jephree - your advise worked like a charm. I've spent months asking how to fix this problem - other help groups gave me dirctions which would not or could not be done on my XP system.
    I hope atree has tried your advise. Many thanks onurb

    As abduls16 pointed out those symptoms are indicative of a virus infection.

    If you have knowingly cleared all viruses from these machines then there are a few restore attempts posted online but the first step is to run a full Virus scan and verify that the systems are clean.

    Also following abduls16 instructions for posting a HijackThis log wouldn't be a bad idea.

    You might try a System Restore to a point prior to your problem:

    start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore
