How to Fix jump drive opening with disk heal

Yesterday at my computer repair shop a customer came with a complain that each time he tried to open his flash drive it always give him the open with dialogue box and he has to use windows explorer to open the flash drive. So this is why I am sharing this post with you today, the reason for this problem is when ever your flash drive is infected with an autorun.inf virus the anti-virus will remove it if there is any(at the root of the drive e.g X:/). So after the virus have been removed it deleted the original autorun file which is hidden be default so when you try to open it, it will give you the open with dialogue box as shown in the screen shot below.



Disk Heal is a free software which is used to fix removable drive errors and other things like disabling users tweeking the computer's privacy and security etc. It is only 413kb in size and does not take up a lot of ram either, it also works on windows 2000/XP/Vista/7, you can download Disk Heal here.
some of the features are as follows:

• Fixes Task Manager inaccessibility

• Fixes Folder Options inaccessibility

• Fixes Registry Editor inaccessibility

• Can’t access any of the above three features, Disk Heal fixes this problem

• Fixes File/Folder inaccessibility:

Use disk heal to fix this problem. After you have downloaded the program and install an icon will be placed on the desktop that looks like a screw driver and a wrench.

When you launch the program it is a very simple User Interface (U.I) all you have to do is click on the Fix tab at the top.

Next go to My Computer and look at the drive icon followed by the letter example F:/, now go back to Disk heal and type in the name of the drive letter beside "Fix disk problems type drive letter and click fix" option the click on the Fix button.

Now you will get a pop warning box telling in order for the changes to take effect you should reinsert your flash drive. So that is what I did in order to fix the customer's flash drive and it was good to go again, now you can go back to my computer and double click on your flash drive without worries OK.

If you password protect the file the Scammer has no way of gaining access to the file if, the only way a scammer will ever get into that doccument is if that scammer is a good programmer and use what are Macros. A Macro hides the internal scripts inside of a word document and requires an advance to intermediate computer person to use it but dont worry I will show how to create your passwords wisely so lets get started.
