About Me:

Like many other people, I was planning to claim weirdness to myself...but then almost everyone now call themselves weird. As if weirdness had suddenly become the 'in' thing... With slots for wierdness all seemingly full, i guess i am left to be classified as normal...that wouldnt be too bad now would it?...ah whatever...-__-;...weird...normal...just plain whoever. I am not very good at typing stuff up in these 'about me' pages. I do not enjoy the idea of saying this and that about me. I take too much time thinking about what to say. I fear that what i may type may not really be me at all. Oh how complicated.

Can't access your drives (i.e. drive C:) with double click?

Yeah, well I noticed it happened to me yesterday (and it lasted till a few moments ago, actually). I couldn't access my drive C: when I would double click on the icon.

I mean, sure, it's not like I can't access it totally. I can still view and open the contents of my drive via that drop down thingy on the folders, or right clicking on the icon and opening it manually...

but still. It was, quite annoying. Things haven't really been all dandy for me these past few days (weeks even) and that minor problem was really just. RAWR.

Having been too busy to allow my lapytop to do its usual antivirus scanning daily, it seems i've accumulated a number of trojans and worms. These were easily removed by my AVG anti-virus, of course. But it left me with this minor, yet annoying problem of not being able to access my drive C: with the ever so classic "double-click" move.

and so, I consulted my friend google, via its blackle custom search, and I was lead to some answers.

Cease and Desist! No need to go so far as to reformat your drive! Sure sure, it wouldn't be so bad to go off reformatting your usb-drive (especially when you have a back-up of the stuff)...just so you can get rid of that annoying non-double-clicky-ness...but you can't easily choose that reformatting option on your drive C: because it's very likely that you have tons of stuff there, and it would be a pain reinstalling your OS and doing a back-up of all your needed files, and making sure that everything gets back to its happy neat self!

So, the solution? To get back to being freely able to double click your drive after the trojans and worms have disabled that?

well~

the easiest option would be to download this and just run it:
http://www.techsupportforum.com/sectools/sUBs/Flash_Disinfector.exe

It's called flash disinfector :D
When your compy or drive gets infected by worms and trojans and such and such, those things will create their own autorun.inf file...Most anti-virus programs would be able to detect and remove the executable virus (e.g. trojan.exe or somesuch) but not the autorun.inf file because it's basically just an instruction file and not the actual virus itself. So, what flash disinfector does is that it will create an autorun.inf file in the drives to replace the ones that the virus made...

...at least that's how I understood it.

Anyway, it works :D
it really does. So now you can continue to enjoy double clicking on your drives and so on...lol

If you're paranoid to download flash disinfect, thinking that it might cause you more problems than it can solve, then maybe you can try this other solution I came across.

This guy had the same problem as I did, and upon research, he was able to solve the double-click problem too.

If you're too lazy to click on the link, then I'll just copy paste what that person said :D

1) Go to My Computer, Tools -> Folder Options -> View, there check Show Hidden Files and uncheck the two beneath that so all hidden files are displayed to you.
2) Open notepad and type in:
[AutoRun]
open=C:\windows\explorer.exe

3) Save it as file "autorun.inf". Save it directly to your Drive C and restart your computer. You should be able to access your Drive C with double clicking now!

--
so here the first thing you have to do is make the autorun.inf file visible by changing the folder options to show the hidden files, and then open the file and type in the code he specified above...save it as autorun.inf, on your drive C and restart your compy, and there.

*breathes*

Well, I hope that helps someone.
Blabbing about it helped take out the irky feeling I had earlier. So even though the state I am in is still borderline sucky, being able to actually blog about something useful helps.

Hmm, I'd rather talk about other stuff though, but then that would just be all complicated. Perhaps I'll just tackle those when things cool and anxiety is cut down.

Wah, still have tons of piccies to upload...@__@
oh well, will hop to it...

eventually.
