(Solved)open with ?!
« on: March 07, 2008, 07:34:49 PM »
after my pc was infected with a virus,I found that when I double-click on any drive I receive the open-with menu.
I cleaned my pc but it did not fix the problem so I had to format my C: and install WinXP pro again but strangly I keep receiving the same message :rolleyes:
how to fix it from the reg-editor?  ??? :'(

Do you mean that you've installed Windows again over the old installation or format before?
Strange that a 'new' Windows installation will be acting that way...

I didn't reinstall windows over the old one..
I formatted my C: drive then installed a fresh copy of windows.

So... a bad Windows installation...
Will this help?
