ShineOnlineWhen trying to open the hard disk drive, an 'open with' window is prompting. What to do?

This is a problem caused by a virus. Even if you have an antivirus installed in your system, some virus can get into your system and cause this problem. Here the problem is caused by a virus in the form of a file called 'Autorun.inf' which is responsible for each drive to work in autorun mode. If you right click your drive you can see an additional item at the top of the shortcut menu as 'Auto'.You can simply solve the problem by removing the above mentioned file. But before that you should do some steps to find the file. The steps are as follows.

1. Go to the -> folder options
2. Select the View tab
3. Under 'Hidden files and Folders', uncheck the 'Hide protected Operating system files' option
4. Select option 'Show hidden files and folders' under hidden files and folders
6. Now press Ctrl+E to activate search and click - all files and folders
7. Enter "Autorun.inf" in the file name box
8. Now click- "More Advanced options" to see advanced options
9. Check 'Search system folders' , 'Search hidden files and folders' and 'Subfolders'
10. Click search and find the file named 'autorun.inf' with a root location such as c:\ or d:\ or so.
11. Delete the file from each drive. Now restart the system. Hurray! Problem solved!
