If you are using windows xp. Double click the my computer icon and then go to tools and then Folder options and then go to view and check the following combo boxes show hidden files and folders and hide protected operating system files and the go to Run command and type C: you will see two files such as autorun.ini and setup.exe if you find these files in the hidden form delete it. delete these two files only if they are exist don't delete anyother files do it for all the drives. If it is not deleted go to safe mode and delete it

Dude as soon as u type C: in ur run dialog , A new Window appears ..search for autorun.ini , AutoRun.exe there n delete it ..or else u can manually go to c drive n delete autorun.ini n AutoRun.exe

autorun file may be hidden....make sure you have selected to show hidden files n folder.

This is sure cause of virus.Follow these steps:
1) First restore your system to best know time.This will solve your autorun problem.
2)Turn off system restore.And do online scan.You can find many online scan option here:

ya man that's exact right step to follow in tools->folder options->view->click for show hidden files and folders and then remove TICK marks for hide extension for known file types and hide protected operating system files,then type c: in command prompt and delete those 2 entries,or do system restore as ravi 9793 said

try this

hard drive autorun!!!!

i had similar problem, deleted the autorun.inf file (which is hidden) n now its working fine.

This is surely due to the existence of autorun.inf or .ini in C:

Remove it as said above.

all the files except svhost.exe will be deleted.

now,
goto run and type 'regedit.exe'

goto the location

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHO WALL

look for DWORD checkedvalue and change its value to 1.

Open Regedit by run.. Then In the HKEY Class Root I think .. The top 1 forget its name as I am in Linux.now... Search for Drive .... Then in shell change the value to drive or none.. You should now exit the Regedit and problem solved..

[sauravktr]

start >> run >> Then type = regsvr32 /i shell32.dll


Reply if it works
