Windows Forum / Windows XP / General Topics 1 / May 2008local drives don't open with double click
Hi, My XP machine doesn't open local drives with double click. Instead Open With dialogue box appears. It also has serious file associations problems. MS Word files are associated with Acrobat Reader and pdf vice versa. When I uninstalled Acrobat Reader PDF files are associated with MS Word. I tried the following patch. http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts/xp_folder_open.vbs But it didn't work. Can somebody please help me? Regards Cheng Hi Cheng, Enable Windows Explorer to show all hidden and protected files. Find and delete the file named Autorun.inf (in the drive's root directory), and delete it. After doing so, make sure to logoff and login back. If that does not help, see: "Open With" dialog appears when double clicking on a mapped network drive in My Computer: http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/223/1/Open-With-dialog-appears-when-double -clicking-on-a-mapped-network-drive-in-My-Computer.html  SignatureRegards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] The Winhelponline Blog: http://www.winhelponline.com/blog Windows® Troubleshooting: http://www.winhelponline.com Hi, My XP machine doesn't open local drives with double click.
