| Windows right click menus problem! Hi, When I double click my C and D Drive nothing happens. A popup window comes up said that: Please go to Control Panel to install and configure system components. *This is due to the fact that the default double click action is autoplay not open. *Right click menus highlight and bold the autoplay action on the top of open action. My question is: How do I change the items found in the right click menu? How do I reassign a double click to open rather than it's existing function? Anyone expert can tell me the steps by steps to recover the default settings back? Thank you for your help. |

| RE: Windows right click menus problem! Could be possible that you have accidentally placed an Autorun.inf file on the root of both drives. You need check for that file and delete them. 1. Open My Computer - click Tools - Folder Options 2. Enable "Show hidden files and folders". 3. Right-click on C Drive and choose Open. 4. Look for that file on the root and delete it. Do the same for another drive. 5. Restart or Log Off and Log In again for changes to take effect. Hope this help, let us know!

| Re: Windows right click menus problem! As I already told you that Symptoms are due to Autorun.inf. Did you enable Show Hidden Files and Folders? Also uncheck "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" option. Read the article below: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/autoruninf.htm Hope this help, let us know!
