trying to help someone...no restore points in XP to use. Clicking D: partition in My Computer connects the internet as well as opening the partition. Set Firewall to alert all connections and no programs popup...so...it is like connecting using the modem icon (IE doesn't popup). It also says D: PROGRAMS is connecting (and not a program). If you rt. click D: PROGRAMS you can OPEN and EXPLORE and it doesn't connect to the web and opens fine. Anyway to stop this?
it doesn't do this when clicking other partitions.

ROGRAMS connected to the net. After changing some settings in My computer/view I was able to click it without connecting but there was a folder that was in the exact same location on the monitor and it caused the connection too. Apparently, the cursor was actually reading that folder even though D: was not expanded. I renamed the folder so it was in a different location and that stopped D
