Is it something like this?

Is it only for your drives in My Computer?

If so, I may know what this is and how to get rid of it.

Open a command prompt window...
type in regsvr32 /i shell32.dll and hit Enter...
Re-boot.

Just to disprove my theory, go to Command Prompt, type cd C:\.
Now type attrib, press Enter and see if there is a file called autorun.inf.

Edit: Wait, did Patio's advice work?

cd c:\ basically makes the Command Prompt look at the C:\ directory.
The attrib command will just show you what files you have in C:\ ONLY.

I've had a similar problem that you're currently having where the drives don't open and you have to choose how to open them. This was done by the Kava virus.
This is why I want to see if there is a file called autorun.inf in the directory of C:\
