I'm helping a friend out with a PC problem.

He has shortcuts to the different drive letters on the desktop.
When you double click them, up pops the what programme do you want to open this with dialogue – very odd.

I've recreated the shortcuts and get the same thing. I'm running a malware scan at the moment, but are there any settings which could have been 'tweaked' to cause this.

and yes I have told him to get a mac.

Lol, Yeah cos macs never get viruses 🙂
