Hi

Whenever i open windows it is able to boot and come to the windows start screen etc. but when i go to my computer it is not allowing me to access C drive by double clicking on the drive. When i click on C drive it says "The disk is not formatted. Do u want to format". But when i go to the address bar drop down and click C drive i am able to c the contents of the drive. What is the problem ?

Thank you
JB

TRY
Click Start, then RUN, then type
regsvr32 /i shell32
Note the space between 2 and /, & i and s

That works to stop SEARCH from opening if you double click a Drive or Folder. It may also fix your problem.
