Hard disk opens in a new window

[sghulyani]

whenever i double click my hard disk drive icon, it opens in a new window...
Other folders open in their own window...
checked for this problem in the folder options, but everything seems to be fine there..

can anybody please help me out in this matter?

This happens if you had worm/spyware in your PC.

It's called MountPoint2 or something...

It's easy to remove so don't worry.

Open regedit, Start>All Programs>Run, type regedit.

Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer

Search for MountPoint2/Mount2Point or something familiar.

Then delete the registry folder (only the MountPoint2).

No need for you to reboot!



Hope this helps!

Hi mokies

I've tried your given solution, it works ... but the problem is that I have two Hard disk drives with total 7 partitions. The first one has 3 partitions, which is my primary hard disk. and the other one has 4 partitions. When I tried your solution, it works fine with my primary hard drive in which windows installed; but for the other hard drive which has 4 partitions it failed. Another thing when I reboot my system again my primary harddisk infected with the same

Could you please help me out??

Hi Alis,

You will get the problem on regular basis if you have two hardisk. Best I suggest you to download combofix. It is small file which you need to run and it will fix the error.

Hi

Whoever have problem when they open c: drive (it's opened in a new window) or cannot see the hidden files follow exactly this method :
1- Scan your full PC with Avira anti virus.
2- Reboot your system. ( Up to here the c: drive will open on it's own window).
3-Navigate with Start>run>regedit>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer>Advanced.
4-Locate hidden in the right panel and change it's value to 1.
5-Don't use again the command : Tools>Folder Options>View>& Check or Uncheck view hidden files.
6-Only click refresh (One time only) in any window containing hidden files. All files will be shown. This setting will remain as long as you respect No.5 above.

Good Luck
