   Something very strange is going on if you delete the file from =
Explorer and it doesn't disappear.  Try Shift+Del or Shift+Click on =
Delete menu item if you aren't doing so already.  With shift the files =
are deleted instead of moved to the recycle bin.

  Pretty sure, but I can see tomorrow.  I have to have a lot of drives =

  usually for it to happen.

    System(s).

and
    everyone else does not.

    No, I didn't say I see it all the time, just a LOT.  I don't know =
what
    causes it.

    >I'd not be surprised if the snap or AS/400 have problems.  Windows =

    sends notifications fine.

    I don't have a problem on Win9x machines this way, it sends the
    notifications just fine.

    >   You have no CD-ROM software?

    Some of the PC's yes, some no, and not the same version on any.

    >These are CD-ROMs or CD-R/W?>

    Both, but mostly CDRW. Even have a DVD and a DVDRW.

    >If the latter, don't you have software to burn CDs?

    On the ones with rw, yes, but none of them have that active crud =
(tray
  icon
    that asks you what to do when you put in a blank CD) or the direct =
cd type
    stuff.

    >For that matter, are you using inbox or non-inbox drivers

    In box on all but one PC. (newer video card than what's in the box =
on my
    main PC at home.)  Supposedly certified though.

    >Again, there must be some reason why you claim to never see title =

    while everyone else does not.

    If I knew I'd tell you why. (and I doubt EVERYONE sees title =
changes, I
    don't have that strange a config.)

    I'd not be surprised if the snap or AS/400 have problems.  Windows =

        That's not what i was describing -- you can move these icons =

autorun
    not
