    Unable to open files on thumb drive


    I could sure use some help. I am unable to open files on thumb drives. I can see them, however, when I attempt to open with internet explorer, I get "What do you want to do with xxxxxxx file". I click on "open" and get screen that says "view and track your downloads", however, nothing will open from there.

    :)
