Lenovo ThinkPad X230; Mobile DualCore Intel Core i7-3520M, 8 GB RAM, 256 SSD

Windows 8 Pro

[FONT=&amp]When I click on my computer[/FONT][FONT=&amp], the various drives I have connected show up in the main panel, but when I click on any of them [/FONT][FONT=&amp][FONT=&amp]([/FONT][FONT=&amp][FONT=&amp]Icons for any drives[/FONT])[/FONT], I get the error message: "The file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action.....".

However, in the left side panel, if I click on any of the drives, I have access to them.

Thanks in advance for the help. [/FONT]

Thank you very much, Brink! The problem was solved.
I used Drive.reg to restored default drive asotsiation.
A message appears: REGISTRY EDITOR Cannot import C: \ Users \ Myname \ Downloads \ Drive.reg: Not all data was successfully written to the registry. Some keys are open by the system or other processes, or you have insufficient privileges to perform this operation.
But this is normal. Now again I can [DEL]not[/DEL] open my drives from Computer panel with double clicks.
Excuse me for my english.
Thank you very much again, Brink!

You're most welcome.

I'm guessing that you meant that you are able to open drives again. If so, then I'm happy to hear that it was able to help. :)

Of course, I mean that I CAN open my drives again.
I have made a mistake when I wrote "I can not".
