hello,

since some viruses attacked my colleague pc she can't access her hard drive from 'my computer' anymore. (my computer --> 2x click H : / ....)

but she can access it through drop down address bar (eg. H : / ....).

whenever she 2x click H : / .... from 'my computer', the "open with..." dialog comes out.

how to correct this problem?

thanks.
