This may be due to virus infection. You should search for autorun.inf file in that local drive. When you double click on that drive, it runs another program, instead of opening it. There is an alternate way to open that drive without double clicking. Just type the adress of that drive in the adress bar and press enter. Now that drive opens. Goto 'tools-folder options-view' and click on 'hide protected operating system files' option (disable it). Now you may see 'autorun.inf' file in that folder. Just delete it and restart your computer. But this is not a permanent fix because your pc is infected by a virus. You have to install better antivirus.
