    You have to remove autorun.inf.

    open CMD from run.

    example:
    D:\attrib
    D:\autorun.inf -s -h -a
    D:\autorun.inf
    then remove the code relating its mainly .exe and save.

    open the taskmanger > process tab
    locate explorer.exe and end process.
    go to file menu in taskmanger > new task
    type "explorer"
    test whether u have same problem again.It should be ok now.

    was having problem with all of them.
    but now it is working fine.
    all i did was rename the existing autorun.inf and placing a blank one in the drive.
    Thanks for your help
