G'day Abrham
I'm told that this procedure works in most cases.

first do a quick check for a particular file  in root of C drive i.e. C:\autorun.inf 
. Delete this if it is present.

Next, set the folder settings to default:

Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Options> View> Reset All Folders. If no result, 
then

Start Menu > Run and type this: regsvr32 /i shell32 .
This command re-registers an important DLL file connected with Windows explorer.
