drives opening in new full screen windows
« on: October 08, 2007, 08:59:22 PM »
Hi, I've tried to find a solution to this on google, and these forums, with no luck.

For a few months now all of my drives open in new full screen windows, even after a recent format the problem remains. That is, I open My Computer, double click the C Drive (or D, E etc) and I get a new explorer window that opens full screen hiding everything else.

I've looked through all the options I can find, and reset all the folders to default, but nothing seems to change this behaviour. Note it's only the drives, once open they behave normally.

Hope someone can help :) this is driving me nuts

Install, and run Flash Disinfector from here: http://experi3nc3.wordpress.com/2007/05/10/flash-disinfector-by-subs/
Read instructions on that page.
That should solve your issue.
When you are done, get HijackThis: http://majorgeeks.com/Trend_Micro_HijackThis_d5554.html
and post its log at "Computer Viruses and Spyware" on this board.

I'm glad, it worked, but as CBMatt said, you HAVE TO get antivirus program.
