D:\is not a valid Win32 application

by jocali Nov 22, 2004 1:13PM PST

I am running Win XP Home Edition. My hard drive has two partitions C: and D:. When I double click to open D:, I get this error:
D:\is not a valid Win32 application.

When I rebooted my computer, my D: drive icon changed to something else (the icon that Windows uses when it could not identify the program.)

Does anyone know how I can fix this problem. I want to get rid of the error message and restore my D: drive icon.

Can someone help me?

Thanks,
jc

From windows Explorer, search on root d:\ for the file autorun.inf. Rename it to autorun.old (make sure that you have the check box "Show hidden files and folders" set)

Good Luck,
