Hi,

When opening Windows Explorer, I get the message shown in the subject
when trying to open my C: disk drive.

What do I need to change to have the contents of the drive appear
without 1st seeing the warning message?

Thanks
 
To display the contents of system folders
Open Folder Options in Control Panel.
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
Double-click Folder Options.
On the View tab, select the Display the contents of system folders check box.
Note

System folders, such as your system drive (usually drive C, unless you have
more than one drive on your computer), Program Files, Documents and Settings,
and Windows, contain files your computer needs to work properly. The contents
of these folders are hidden by default.
Other types of files and folders are assigned the hidden attribute.
Selecting this option does not show files and folders with the hidden
attribute.
