One problem i encountered from my workstation at home is that my drive D doesn't open automatically when clicking it. I have done some investigation and found out that my machine was affected by a malware. Here are the actions I've done to restore the default functionality when opening any drives that was infected of such malware.
Problem:
When I double click on the D:\ drive on my
workstation, it doesn't open automatically,
rather it starts the OPEN WITH menu and asks
Choose the program you want to use to open this
file: D:\ and gives a list of programs. I have to access the D: hard disk using windows explorer.
Solution:
1. Go to run then type" regedit" that is registry then hit enter
2.Then press CTRL+F, in this box write "mountpoints2" and delete it
3. Then again press "ctrl+f", find mountpoints2 until all these files are not deleted
4. Lastly, restart your PC.
Sharing this to help anyone solve the problem. Hope it would help :)
