Okay, one down partially at least -- turning off autorun stops the CD =
names from updating in explorer on a virgin, nothing extra installed PC. =
But that is not the only thing that stops it unfortunately, on a PC =
with 2 CDRW drives, it still doesn't update the CD names even with =
autorun turned on and functioning. I suspect another autorun type = setting
somewhere...

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.

System(s).

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

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.

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.

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.

If I knew I'd tell you why. (and I doubt EVERYONE sees title =

don't have that strange a config.)

That's kind of part of the symptom I'm seeing, except you get an =

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