are you trying to open the c: or d: drive? What version of windows?
Can you open the drive by right clicking and choosing open? Does double clicking open other folders, just not the c\d drive?

For the drive; open a cmdprompt (or Run) and type - regsvr32 /i shell32.dll

I would also do a spyware check with Spybot Search and Destroy and with AdWare, both are free and can be found at sites like;
www.download.com

or other malware interfering. A good scan with spybot/ adaware/ trend housecall can let you know if you need to remove any thing . Then, if the problem persists, you can look at repairing explorer. Billw's suggestion looks like it could help. It looks to me like it re-registers the default shell context items.
