   There is something different about your system.  There has to be some =
reason why you claim you see this all the time and everyone else does =
not.  I'd not be surprised if the snap or AS/400 have problems.  Windows =
2000 sends notifications fine.

   You have no CD-ROM software?  These are CD-ROMs or CD-R/W?>  If the =
latter, don't you have software to burn CDs?  For that matter, are you =
using inbox or non-inbox drivers?  If the latter, are they WHQL =
certified?  Again, there must be some reason why you claim to never see =
title changes while everyone else does not.

  That's kind of part of the symptom I'm seeing, except you get an error =
if
  you double click on them. (file not found)

  Windows 200 Server, Snap server, and our AS/400, they all do it.

  Nope, but like I said, I have autorun disabled.

    That's not what i was describing -- you can move these icons that =
you just
    deleted, you can try to delete them again 9and you get a file not =
found
    error)  and as for the network drives that exhibit the same =
behavior, they
    just don't show up, and you know their connected because of a =
command line
    net use shows them.  As for the cdrom's never changing the disk name =
when
    you change the CD, you tell me. (probably something to do with =
autorun not
    turned on, but it should update when accessing the CD.)

    And also, this beahovior is exactly the same on all my PC's =
regardless of
    video.

       Why should there be artifacts?  The symptoms described were that =
the
  icon
    images were visible but clicking on them had no effect.  That is an

    phantom icons or minimizing then maximizing.

    It's not a repaint problem as there are no artifacts, it's an update
  problem
    in explorer.

       What people are describing doesn't sound like a caching issue.  =
It
