title says it all.. my cdrom seems to update only once what is in the cdrom drive.. when booted.. everytime i change the cd after that it shows the old cd name and not the new one.. but the content of the new cd... what do i do? i have windows xp
 
okay i will try the software method..

it is an annoyance... not knowing what cd i have in there unless i explore first..
 
I'm using XP with SP1 my cd still says COD1. Was playing some call of duty couple days ago. Mine could be because I have the auto cd detect disabled.
 
I've had the same problem for quite some time, just never bothered to fix it since it didn't bother me.

XP w/ SP1 and all patches, autoinsert disabled (I'm thinking that could be doing it)
 
This problem is caused by having 'auto-insert notification' disabled. Enable it to allow the system to detect a disc change automatically.
 
ah.,.. i will try that..

i just disable everything or the one of my burning programs did it so it odesn't cause problems with burning..

btw.. when is sp2 coming out?? i am excited it.. cause ie is suppose to be better in that it has pop up killer installed automatically..

where is auto notification located?
Click to expand...
Right-click on "My Computer", then select "Properties", then go to the "Device Manager" tab at the top. Now, just find your cd-rom drive, then select it (left-click on it), and select "Properties" again, and it will be under the "Settings" tab.
 
This is the one I'm using sorry thought it was called tweak xp it's called tweakui. Can get it from microsoft powertoys
Powertoys

Start tweak ui expand my computer. Expand autoplay click drives and you can check what drives you want to autoplay

Then you can right click the drive select properties and there should be an autoplay tab. Can setup what type of files you want the drive to autoplay.
 
i can't find it any of those.. the options u mention viper is for auto play.. i don't want to autoplay.. just auto insert notification.. what would be the registry key?

both are really the same thing.

 
You don't want to enable auto insert notification or autoplay or any of the above if you have a cd burner. Doing so can cause problems. More info.

So the question remains: how do we get the drives in "My Computer" to refresh their titles when a new CD/DVD is inserted? F5 does not work.
