Explorer Optical Drive Default To Open Not Play
I'm running Windows 7 build 7077. I've messed around with all the autostart/autoplay settings I can find. But I can't find a way to change my optical drive default in Explorer from Play to Open(as in explore the folders not play the video.)
It's just a nuisance to forget, double click, get the error(because I have WMP disabled in local security policy) then right click on the drive icon and click Open. Life would be easier if I could just double-click it!! Anyone know the secret?

Optical Drives Freezes The Explorer
I just installed Windows 7 on my PC (fresh install; 64bit). I got three optical drives in my system. All three seems to be working correctly but after inserting a disk to the drive only the drive I used to install win 7 shows the content of the disk. The other to drive freezes the explorer. The specs of the optical drives not working: NEC DVD-RW ND-3550A (IDE) LG BD-ROM GGC-H20L (SATA) The working drive is a SATA-DVD-ROM. I also got to HDD connected to SATA which are working just fine. The PC is a AMD AM2-Plattform with NVidia 560 chipset. I allready read some threads here and followed there suggestions but without any luck. Can anyone help me?

Why Won't Media Player 12 Open To Full Screen By Default ?
I installed Windows 7 RC, which included Windows Media Player 12. When playing music, it will not open to a full screen without the user having to press ALT-ENTER. Instead, there is this tiny little screen. THIS IS VERY IRRITATING. It was not this way with prior versions of Windows Media Player. I have looked everywhere in the program and cannot find the settings to set WMP 12 to open to a full screen when playing audio. I can only conclude that there is not this option in the settings. Again, this is very irritating. How can I set up Windows Media Player 12 so that it automatically, by default, opens to full screen when music is played? If I can't get these features, I will otherwise have to wipe the disk and re-install Vista. I have searched the internet extensively and found no iinformation on correcting this serious flaw.

Change Pinned Explorer To Open Computer
I'm totally new to these forums but I wanted my pinned windows explorer shortcut on my taskbar to open Computer instead of Libraries. So I've figured it out and wrote a application for it. It will open anything you select from the list. (Thanks Brink for the list) Program is attached. It'd be nice to see some replies regarding this. P.S App is written in C# for those who wonder... W7ExplorerShortcut is the console application that only allows you to set it to open My Computer. 7Tweaker is the GUI application that gives you a list of options.

Explorer No Longer Able To Open With Multiple Files
I can no longer "Open With" (Program X) multiple files, as in the option doesn't even exist when you right-click a file. I noticed when I was clicking several jpgs to open in Photoshop, where my default viewer is Google's Picasa (for ease of viewing and convenience). The strange thing is that I can still "Open With" individual files. I thought maybe it was just a Photoshop goof but it applies to Mp3s/Winamp and AVIs as well. This is very inconvenient!

Optical Drive Problems
I recently installed windows 7 professional on my system and now my optical drive is acting weird. The drive will run CDs just fine (I can install and rip. haven't tested burning), but it will have nothing to do with DVDs. When I put a DVD in it, it doesn't do anything. After a while, if I go to my computer and double click on the disk drive, the optical drive will eject the disk and say "Please insert disk". I have looked in the device manager and it says the driver is working properly. I have tried looking into the "regedit" and the upper and lower filters aren't there. I have tried uninstalling the drivers and rebooting so that windows installs them (no luck). I have also tried starting with the driver signature enforcement disabled but nothing happens. My ODD is a (SATA) Samsung Sh-S223Q in case you wanted to know. One thing that i noticed that I thought was odd was that my device manager had 2 drivers for my Optical Drive. They are HCB JGPYF*X SCSI CdRom Device and TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S223Q ATA Device. I have a virtual drive (daemon tools lite) installed but I don't know if that has anything to do with it.Â

Optical Drive Issues
It seems as though my two optical dvd-rom & dvd-ram drives are working only intermittently, since loading windows 7 64 ultimate from vista 64 ultimate. While there are many drivers that I have saved as downloads plus those that can be found online there are drivers that are only available via disk, so having the optical drives consistently function properly is of the utmost importance. Anyone with any suggestions are solutions please let us all know your thoughts.

Explorer Takes A Very Long Time To Open Network
I have Windows 7 Build 7100 installed, and when accessing "Network" via explorer or a file browser window there is a very long delay, in the region of a minute, before my networked devices (my Windows Home Server) shows. However accessing "Shared Folders" on my WHS via the Desktop shortcut is nearly instant. The only other device which shows after clicking "Network" is my own computer, so im not sure why there is such a long delay. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Interesting Problem With Optical Drive
I've a problem with my optical drive. After finalizing the disk during burning when it is again inserted it is just throwing out the disk without reading the contents in it. But it is reading the disks which were previously written using the same optical drive.Those disks which are thrown out when inserted into another optical drive of another system it is reading them.

Thumbnails And Optical Drive Problem
I know how to disable thumbnails system wide and this is not what I want to do. The problem my system is having is when I place a disc such as an SVCD in the drive and want to copy one of the files. When I go into the folder with the videos, Windows tries to make thumbnails of all the files or at least it tries to gather information on them. The problem is that since it's an optical disc, there is only one laser, so there is a very long explorer.exe freeze while it tries to do so. I guess it is reading a little of each file at a time and trying for all of them at once. Is there a tweak or a setting I can change without affecting videos stored on the HDDs?

Optical Drive Disappears When Rebooting
Rebooting disappears the optical drive when attempting to view it by clicking on "Computer." It also disappears from "devices." However, shutting down and starting does not affect the system in any way. Hence, when I'm instructed to reboot, I now simply shut down and start rather than reboot. I haven't been able to find out the source of this problem. You should know that this is a desktop with a very small form factor; i.e., mini ITX with an Atom and the optical drive is a slim laptop optical drive with an adapter for use on a desktop setup.

Internet Explorer Doesn't Open (no Error Shown)
With the latest set of updates, around 4-5 days ago, a new problem developed which I haven't seen discussed anywhere. Internet explorer doesn't load up when I click on it's icon. The hard disk clunks but no explorer window appears. No error is displayed. Very odd. Very occasionally it does load up, perhaps once a day, but then stops loading again after a few minutes.Â

Live Messenger Does Not Open Up Internet Explorer 8 To View Emails
few days ago, my WLM still worked fine. This mean i can easily open up my email by clicking on the WLM's email button. Then it will open up the IE8 and go straight into my hotmail account. However, these 2 days, i cant click into my email by clicking on the same button. I can see the iexplore.exe comes out on my taskmgr process list. But awhile then it goes off. The interface of IE8 does not show up at all. But when i click on the taskbar(which i pinned the IE8 to my taskbar), the IE8 can launch. But it need a while before i can click or type on it. What have caused this?

LG Optical Drive Disappears From Device List
I have a HTPC with dual boot WinXP and Win7 RC7100. I have a problem with my optical drive in Win7, but the problem does not occur in WinXP. Problem Description: On booting up the system the optical drive works fine and appears in My Computer and the Device manager. At some point (usually within three minutes of bootup) the drive disappears from My Computer and the Device manager â it just vanishes⦠There are no errors or windows explaining why it happens, there are no errors shown in the event logs either around the time it occurs. Once the drive âdisappearsâ the tray cannot be opened by the button on the drive and it isnât redetected if you run the search for new devices gizmo. If you just leave it in that state, periodically the drive light flashes and there is a clicking noise. In the event logs it shows an error âdrive not readyâ. The error repeatedly appears sometimes every few seconds for a few minutes. It then stops and might not do it again for hours, or might start again in a few minutes. Whilst all this is going on, the drive still doesnât show in device manager and you cant eject the tray by the switch⦠I would suspect a faulty drive, but as I said above it works completely fine in WinXP. I have tried stripping the machine of any added software, which didnât take long as all I have is Kaspersky AV, PowerDVD and software for the LCD on my Antec case. The drive in question is an LG GGC-H20L (Sata CD/DVD Writter, Blu-Ray Reader). I have tried searching on the net for others with the same problem as me, but surprisingly mostly I found people saying their same model drive works fine on Win7. On the other hand the couple of people I did find with similar problems both stated that LG had refused to help them saying they wouldnât support Win7 until it was released. The closest thread to my problem I could find on here was this one: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itprohardware/thread/1a40914b-d90d-4d0f-b228-942d8880218e At the moment I can only see a few options: 1. Buy another drive from a different manufacturer and hope for the best. 2. Wait for Win7 to be released and hope that LG fix the problem with a driver update. Any advice or ideas on how to solve this without resorting to the two options above would be much appreciated. Â

Upgrade Problems From Vista, No Optical Drive Detected
I am having major problems upgrading to Windows 7 from Vista. I have an HP dv3 with Windows Vista 64-bit. I am using the HP upgrade disc with the upgrade option. I first ran into problems when the Windows 7 disc told me that some components would not be installed properly, namely that I needed to upgrade my keyboard filter driver. I did what I was told and when I tried to re-start the upgrade process the disc told me that I would need to re-start my computer. I did that and when it re-started, a message from HP popped up saying that my optical drive was no longer connected and that I needed to re-connect it in order for the upgrade to continue. So now my optical drive is not reading anything and I do not know what has happened or how to even fix it.

ASUS DRW-1814BLT Optical Drive Not Recognized While Installing
I currently have an ASUS DRW-1814BLT and when I try to install Windows 7, it ask me for drivers. As far as I know, it doesn't exist. I tried installing it from Windows, doesn't work. I tried from boot, doesn't work. Is it hidden somewhere on the DVD or how can I resolve this ? The drive can read, write and etc in Vista 64 without problem. E8400, P5K Deluxe, 2x2 ram.

Cannot Access The Folder Or Drive To Play Music
I upgraded in-place from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Beta 1. That process all went very smoothly, except... I had some MP3s and WMAs on my desktop. They are still there, and associated with WMP. But double clicking on them results in failure "cannot access the folder or drive". Weird. I have tried to 'take ownership' of these files, no problem. I can copy them, move them into the Music Library, delete them. I can play them with VLC player. I can play them with WMP if I locate them through WMP Library interface. But with WMP not already running, double-clicking on them results in abject failure.
