    I'm having a problem where in I can't open up any drives, external or internal, by clicking on them in 'my computer'. If I do the 'open with' window will appear, this includes if I right click and go to explore. Instead I have to manually type in the drive letter at the address bar or run command. Does anyone know how to correct this glitch?

    When you go to the Open With prompt, select Windows Explorer and check the Always Use box.

    What you have my friend is a virus. Had the same exact issue.
    Get NOD32 and update it, and it will clear the problem, as it did for me.
