cannot open flash memory by double click!!!!

Sep 28th, 2007

good day,

i am using windows xp sp2 (home edition), i had this virus ntde1ect.com and a trojan (dont remember the name) they were detected and deleted by kaspersky antivirus...

after that whenever i tried to access my C drive by double clicking it, i got this "open with" menue, i googled this problem and it was resolved

now the problem i am having is that whenever i try to open any storage device (any type of flash memory) i get the same "open with" prompt
even if i try right clicking it and choosing open or explore, its the same story
i can only access it if i type the drive letter in address bar

nb: i showed hidden files and folders and system files and searched for autorun files and they didnt exist

i think it might be related to registry, cuz it was infected with ntde1ect.com and i had to manually delete them!!

any suggestions........

Hi,

Ususally after cleaning any virous that strikes registry or system files it is advised to reinstall windows to avoid any similar cases.

It is never about the number of languages you know, you either have the logic of programming or you don't ...

Some of the codes I post are collected from different sites during the past couple of years, so I would like to thank them for their help and for enabling me to help.
