Double-clicking C: drive, prompts me with "Choose Program to Open With..." window

[Rob Gordon]

I have an odd one,

I have a user who, when they go into My Computer and click on C:, get a
prompt asking which program they want to open it with instead of just
being take straight into the root contents of the C: drive.

This smells like an obvious registry hack fix, I just have no clue where
this would be.

Any ideas?

Rob,
Remove the autorun.inf file from the root directory of C: drive.

Karl,

You don't happen to know how I can do this, do you? If I do a "dir /a"
on the C: drive I definitely can see the autorun.inf file listed, I
don't know the syntax for doing a del command to erase a hidden system file.

Rob,
Excellent. Since you can use the "dos" commands, then first
attrib /?
This will familiarize you with the attribute command.

With the Attrib command you can set/clear various attributes.

Use Attrib to clear the read-only, hidden, system attributes.

Now you can use the delete command to get rid of that pest.

I'm not that familiar with the dos commands, but I'm having the same problem
when trying to open my two hard drives from "My Computer". Is there a way to
remove the autorun.inf from the c: root without using dos commands?
