    What's your c: drive?
    Are you talking about your main hard drive or is c: mapped to a cd/dvd/floppy drive?

    On the highest part of the folder structure of the c: drive. You may need to turn on the show hidden/system files under folder options to see it though.

    I used to get this issue a few years ago (back when i was on XP :rolleyes:).

    This normally did the trick, so if it's the same problem, it should sort things out nicely for you.
