As a matter of fact it was. That's the reason that the OP cannot open their drives. Obviously the SHIFT key is stuck/jammed. That
would explain both why the post was in all caps except for the first letter (inverted capitalization), and why they are unable to
open the drive by double-clicking (when the shift key is held, items are multi-selected instead of activated). Wesley may have been
just pointing something else out and not have realized it, but he was on the right track. ;)
 
Turn of your #$%#$% Caps Lock key!!!!!!!!!

When you right click a drive in My Computer, what's the first item in the
menu that pops up?

It wasn't the Caps Lock, it was the Shift key that was stuck causing both the inverted capitalization (look at the first letter of
the original post) as well as causing the mouse clicks to be in multi-select mode instead of command mode.

Obviously they've either fixed it, or the Shift key became freed on it's own. Either way, that's why they did not return.
 
Restore your Windows to a previous point using System Restore. May be You
changed the Folder Options> File types >Drive .
