Please Help. Harddrive file type problem.

[QuantumSpectre]

Please help me!!!! I get an error message saying "C:\ access denied" everytime I double click my harddrive icon.

I was changing the icons in the "file type" tab of the "folder options" window. I supposed I made a mistake or something; because afterwards, I noticed that my "Local Disk (C:)" icon does not take me to C:\ anymore. It searches instead. At this point, I still could open "Local Disk (C:)" by right clicking and selecting "Open" in a dropdown menu.

However, I didn't like the idea that I had to do this open "C:\." So I went back to "folder options" "file type" tab and selected drive. I did not know "find" was supposed to be default. So, I created "Open" by clicking advanced and then new. I typed:


Action: Open
Application used to perform action: %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe
use DDE [checked]
Application: Windows Explorer
Topic:Drive

*Note: windows will not allow me to go back and change the "Open" file type information.

I am still able to get to one of my harddrive's information by entering through the "My Documents" shortcut. I just want to be able to double click my harddrive icons again!!! *cries*

Operating System: XP SP2
Computer: Averatec 1300 series (Laptop)
Harddrive Model: IC25N040ATMR04-0
RAM: 1 Gig

Wow, are you an angel sent from the heavens above??? I totally thank you dude.

I don't know why I didn't think of that... possibly because I was too busy freaking out!!!!!

Thank-Q again. This is a nice forum. This is my first time joining a computer help forum. Your help and kindness made me feel very welcome. Now I must freely give as I was freely given unto. I hope I can help someone else who felt as stressed as me.
