Solved Folders act like files

[Resolved] Folders act like files

Sorry to be a pain but have a weird problem that just ocurred today.
I have 2 hard drive, the boot drive and drive E:. On drive E: when I click on a folder I get the "Open With" window as if it is a file and I cannot access the files within the folder. On drive C: and can access files on main folders but I get the same "Open with" window on all sub-files. I attach a Hijack This log.

Assistance would be appreciated!

 

Hi bg9208

A number of folders in C: caught my eye. Are these all legit folders?

C:\!!
C:\!b
C:\!b(2)
C:\!b(2)(2)
C:\1a
C:\ash
C:\be
C:\blk
C:\clovis
C:\tcwf

The following 2 commands entered into a command window will recreate and associate the Folder file type and default actions for folders, though not sure if any of your installed programs have folder options which might be affected.

ftype Folder=%SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe /idlist,%I,%L
assoc Folder=Folder

I would recommend you first export the registry key associated with Folders.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder

After completing the above, it might also be necessary to open Folder options, select Folder in the list, click Advanced, then select either open or explore and click Set Default, depending on what you choose to be the default behavior.

Let me know if you need specific instructions for completing any of the above.

 

Hello,
And thanks for the prompt response. All the folder you listed are legit with the exception of C:\tcwf - which I have just killed.

I entered the two commands into the command window, they were both accepted OK and everything now seems to be fine.

I have run "Housecall" and it reported that it had removed "WIMAD.AT ".
I have since run ATF cleaner.
You seem have, once again solved tge problem.

Brian Owen

 

Glad to hear that fixed the folder problem. Wimad is an infection generally associated with media files. Did you get a filename and location? Suggest you also do an online scan with Kaspersky.

Please do an online scan with Kaspersky Online Scanner

Click Accept, when prompted to download and install the program files and database of malware definitions.

• Click Run at the Security prompt.
• The program will then begin downloading and installing and will also update the database.
• Please be patient as this can take several minutes.
• Once the update is complete, click on My Computer under the green Scan bar to the left to start the scan.
• Once the scan is complete, it will display if your system has been infected. It does not provide an option to clean/disinfect. We only require a report from it.
• Click View scan report at the bottom.
• Click the Save Report As... button.
• Click the Save as Text button to save the file to your desktop so that you may post it in your next reply.

**Note**

To optimize scanning time and produce a more sensible report for review:

• Close any open programs.
• Turn off the real-time scanner of all antivirus or antispyware programs while performing the online scan.

Note for Internet Explorer 7 users: If at any time you have trouble viewing the accept button of the license, click on the Zoom tool located at the bottom right of the IE window and set the zoom to 75%. Once the license is accepted, reset to 100%.


Post the Kaspersky log here.

 

Hello Dave,

Sorry didn't get a file location from "Housecall ", at least I don't think so, as I don't believe that it produced a scan report however, I will look for one today and will then run Kaspersky again, got a shedload of work on the PC to do today so it probably won't be until this evening French time. Incidentally Someone sent me an online Xmas c andard with a xmas carol on an mp3 file, could this have been the problem? It does seem to date from the receipt of that email.
Thanks again for your prompt help.

regards

Spoke too soon!
The same problem has returned! - I notice that in the Tools, folder options, The edit function is disabled and although I am able to select "Explore" or "open ", neither function has any effect on enabling me to read files. Ther are also a couple of extra options added to the "open with" dialog box, one is "print folder" and the other is one of my old photo files!.
Fortunately I can still work with the PC but this is a real pain.
I will run Kaspersky later today and forward to you.

regards

Brian Owen

 

The HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder which I exported as suggested had a number of sub-folders and the main file? named "PWD "
there seem to be a lot of entries relating to acrobat reader and ACDsee 10 photo manager which I didn't know was even on my PC (I have always used ACDsee32). I have now deleted all the programme entries for this. Checking after running the suggested commands, The entries undey the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT seem to have reverted to the exported values
In the My Computer explorer-type listing I can click on any folder and sub folder and get a file listing in the right hand column and when I click on the file I still have to select from a dialog box the programe to open it with in most instances. I don't know if this is related but Firefox seems to take up lot of memory, with a couple of windows open just over 100,000K, is this exceptional? Kaspersky log follows.
regards

Please post the contents of the previously exported key, then export it again (use a different name) and post that as well.

If I understand correctly from your post prior to the Kaspersky scan, the folders are opening correctly and it's files that are now not opening properly. Is that correct? What type of files are they, eg; what extension do the have?

 

Sorry if this is a bit longwinded.
The problem doesn't seem to be just with files, mainly with sub-folders. I will try to describe more clearly. In Explorer and My Computer, When one selects a folder in the LEFT column, The files and sub folders appear in the RIGHT column - selecting files OR Sub-folders in the right column brings up the "Open With" dialog box. I can, however still open all sub folders and files as normal in the LEFT column but I am concerned that this may just be symptomatic of an underlying problem as in the set folder properties box, the edit function is disabled.
I have noticed a perceptible slowing in printing directory listings to screen
I have attempted to send WBBS copies of the ild and new REGEDIT logs but after many hours of waiting whilst seemingly processing the copy to function I have given up unless I can find a quicker way of doing it.
After my last attempt today I looked in Task manager and found WMIPRV.EXE which seemed to be slowing things down. Googling tells me this is some form of Malware although a search does not find it.
Any sugghestions of how to get the regedit logs to you?
If it any help,When I select Folder Options then File types the File Folder, The Advanced options are : Browse with AVDSee 10 Photo manager (Which has recently been uninstalled). Find and Print directory listing. The Edit function is greyed out.
On going back to dailog box and selecting Folder, then Advanced, the options are Explore, Open and Scan using Spybot S&D. Again the Edit function is greyed out.

 

GOT IT (I think). I trolled thru WBBS looking for similar problems and found one that looked just like mine. The problem was solved by running Regsvr32 / i shell32.dll. Tried that on mine and everything now works as it should.
Thanks again to everyone on WBBS for providing such a superb rescue service!

 

That's great news! Thanks for posting back with what worked.
