invalid characters when you right click on local hard drive

Hi,
I have Windows xp professional machine with service pack 2. It started from
today. When i right click on any of my partitions on the only local hard
drive i have, the first two options i.e. "open" and "explore" show up as
weired characters. When i select them, the operation continues fine. On the
other hand, when i right click on cd drive, everything looks fine. I have no
viruses, trojan, spyware or rootkit, i believe(checked it all). Please
suggest.
