Autoplay on mapped network drive????

I have one Windows XP SP3 computer that is doing something very strange.  The user has a mapped network drive (S:) to a network location.  When she tries to access that drive by double-clicking on it through My Computer, it wants to do an AutoPlay, so it gives the AutoPlay menu.  If I right-click on the drive, the first option (the default) is AutoPlay and the next 2 options are written in like hyerglyphics or something...just a bunch of different symbols put together...it's very strange (see attachment).  Then I have Search, Disconnect, and other normal options.  If I click on the first screwed up option, the drive actually opens in a new window.  

Any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks,

That did it!  Thanks a lot!

The screwy-looking text also fixed itself when I deleted the autorun files.

Thanks again,
