Can't open Local Disk C: in My Comp

I had the Dedler.2.AL virus on my computer and I removed it. Now, I can not open my C drive from My Computer.
When I click on "Local Disk C:" it says: Program Not Found Windows cannot find intall.exe
This program is needed for opening files of type 'File'.

Will that not cause the virus to come back too?

If the Virus was in System Restore - and it may not have been - then your AV Program would presumably have informed you of that fact - although it would not be able to Remove it from there because Access is Denied to the Sys. Rest. Files
If your AV Program did not indicate that the Virus was in the Sys. Rest. Files then you might as well do as 'u' says
If you cannot access your C Drive anyway - then what have you to lose? - the chances are that the Virus was not in Sys.Rest

I didn't have system restore running. So I have no reference point to back to. Any other options?

Suggest a repair instal. Boot with XP CD. bypass RecoveryConsole. Proceed with instal and select repair current. you should not lose files but will have to redo SP1/2 updates.
