In Windows 7, I cannot open C: drive by double clicking on it. I can open it through a right-click. Why is this happening?

You haven’t mentioned what happens when you double click on it (whether you get an error message or not). This could happen due to multiple reasons like a malware infection corrupting some of the system files or simply if the mouse double click setting is set inappropriately. Follow these steps:

• Click start and type ‘mouse’ in the search field. Press enter.
• On the mouse properties window, slow down the double click speed.
• If this does not work, run a virus scan in safe mode using a reliable security software.
• If it finds potentially harmful files, remove them.
• Create a new ‘administrator’ user account if the problem persists and migrate documents to it by transferring the content of C:\Users\*old user name* to C:\Users\*new user name*.

Hope it helped.
