My external hard drive was functioning normally till one day, it got infected with some trojan from my friend's computer when I was helping him to reformat it. Since then, the menu was not "open" anymore, but it changed into "autoplay". Is there any way to change the option again? Thanks in advance.Posted Image

Check out this link: http://www.howtogeek...and-usb-drives/. It deals with disabling autoplay for USB devices. Testing this setting on my system with a USB device, my shortcut menu went from Autoplay first to Open.

Please post the results, good or bad.
