I can't open my C drive! I have no clue why. Whenever I try to open it, it opens the window that says "which program would you like to open this with" and I don't see a way to open it the way it normally would. I don't know when this started. I've done multiple virus scans so I don't think that's the case. Help please.

Have you tried circumventing the C:/ Drive and just doing a search for a specific file, then opening it?

Hello and welcome to the forum
Which OS are you using ? It may be helpful to the Techs to know which version of windows youare having the problem with |

There is possibly a fix for this here.
Choose the program you want to use to open this file - Tech Support Guy Forums To Admins and mods, I know it's on another forum but I could not find anything for this problem elsewhere...

Windows XP with the most up to date service pack ( i believe ) and yes, i've been able to access files by things similar to searching for the file. but if I go to "My Computer" and double click Local Disk (C: ) I just get that window to find the program to open it.
I'm going to try the link Arctos provided right now and see how that goes. |

I'd try what Arctos said or do a system restore to before you have this issue
