Cannot access CD-ROM in explorer...Win XP

[jbase]

Hi,

I've got a strange one,...It seems the cd contents
cannot be openened/accessed in the Win XP explorer, everywhere I can access the drive but problem is entirely within explorer. Any ideas here??...I've had a look at the settings in explorer - nothing I can spot. Maybe a registry setting??...

Regards
Raj

See if this makes any sense.

Have a look at these reg keys too.


1. Run Regedit to open the Registry Editor
2. Switch to the following key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CD Burning\Drives

– All CD drives show up in same key

– “Drive Type” value determines whether drive is capable of writing and rewriting

01=CD-R Drive

02=CD-RW Drive

03=Write Disabled
