Cd Drive Opens On Its Own Accord
Apr 26, 2008
My computer is a few years old now.It runs on Windows XP .Its a Sony Vaio PCV-LX2.The Cd drive has been playing up for ages now but i got some help on here with another problem so i thought id see if i could get any help on this.If i open the Cd drive then it will keep opening and closing on its own accord. So trying to burn a CD is hard. Even if i dont try and open it and the computer is on and no one is using it the cd drive will just open and close when it wants.

Whenever I open my "C" Drive it opens to "Search" instead of displaying: Documents and Settings, Program Files, etc. Right click on your C drive and my guess is that "Open" will be in bold and at the top of the list. When I do this same thing, "Search" is in bold and at the top. What have I done and how do I undo it?

I'm having windows XP. My problem is that when i double-click on local drives in my computer, they open in a new window. This irritates me a lot as it consumes a lot of time and also an unnecessary window is opened. This might be a setting change or something else 2.....not sure. Anyways, i'll like to know how to make it normal, i.e. to make it open in the same old window.

A while ago I posted on this group a question as to why the "C Drive" contents page opens whilst Windows Xp was booting up. The answer I was told was to do with SP2 and that a short trip round the registry would cure it. Well I did that, but the page still opened, so I thought I'd just have to live with it, but it is getting frustratingly annoying. It really slows everything down and it's the last thing to load up. Once that window opens I can then "use" the computer, as nothing will load until that opens.

An article previously published und Q226476 explains how to change the default where the drive opens and it applies to Windows 98 SE. It says to click START and then FOLDER OPTIONS, then on the FILE TYPES tab, click DRIVE and click EDIT.You can do everything except the last click. There is no EDIT.I would like to have the drive open to explorer rather than open the FIND window.

I just restored and updated all Windows software from Microsoft Update and everytime I double click the Hard Drive I get the Search window. If I turn the Search off I'm not in any specific folder. I used to only receive that when I needed it. Now I have
to Right Click the Drive Letter and Select Open or Explore. How can I fix this issue?

OS is windows XP home. In my computer folder I doubleclick on the (C hard drive, but it doesn't open like a folder but as a search tool. I have to right click and choose open from the menu to "open like a folder".I accidentally was doing something weird in the control panel>folder properties(not sure if its called folder properties in the english xp).And now I would want it again to open like a folder, but I just don't know how.

On Internet Explorer every time I right click anywhere, on any webpage, other than the top menu bar or a flash object, a new IE8 window will pop up and load my home page. Which is becoming a real annoyance. All other browsers work fine. I have ran virus scans, removed at reinstalled IE8 even formatted my HDD. Which sorted the problem at first, but now after windows updates the problems is back.

I got some spyware/asware/virus on my computer and in the process of getting it off somehow it changed that all my .exe files now open in wordpad. Nothing works, I even had to go to another computer to get here. I feel like an idiot and have no idea how to change it back so that things work.

I have this wierd problem of a folder opening with every windows startup. The folder is C:Program Filesone.com. The folder and files within are not malware or anything, just some little games that came with my computer that I never got rid of. It is not in my startup folder. I have never run any of the games and don't even remember opening that folder before this started happening.

which of these is causing it:
O4 - HKLM..Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:ProgramsQuickTimeQTTask.exe" -atboottime
O4 - HKLM..Run: [HotKeyz.exe Startup] C:ProgramsSkynergyHotKeyzHotKeyz.exe Startup
O4 - HKLM..Run: [Adobe ARM] "C:ProgramsCommon FilesAdobeARM1.0AdobeARM.exe"
O4 - HKLM..Run: [avgnt] "C:ProgramsAviraAntiVir Desktopavgnt.exe" /min

O4 - HKLM..Run: [WinPatrol] C:ProgramsBillP StudiosWinPatrolwinpatrol.exe -expressboot

O4 - HKCU..Run: [ClocX] C:ProgramsClocXClocX.exe
O4 - HKCU..Run: [ViStart] C:ProgramsViStartViStart.exe..........
And yes, I do realise that having lots of things on startup slows down the startup. If I start to notice any problems, I will cut this down

It has been about a week now and I have yet to solve a little problem with my taskbar.I've tried quite a few things to get tabs on the taskbar to show up when I open a folder or window, but all effort was in vain. I've looked in several other forums and felt that this place would provide the best answers/solutions. Reformatting is a last resort, and I want to avoid that. Can anyone help me?Problem: Nothing shows up on task bar when a folder/app/window is open. Only the Quicklaunch icons are there.e.g. Open firefox, nothing shows up on taskbar (I can right click taskbar choose different options etc - so it's not frozen) Opening Task manager shows firefox running on both the processes and application tab. So I can switch around that way. Alt+Tab also temporarily shows firefox and any other program/folder/window that is open as well. Minimizing the window causes it to disappear, so it looks like you haven't opened anything at all -but checking task manager shows the programs opened! Yet nothing shows up on the taskbar. (sort of funny since I ended up with literally 20+ windows of firefox on the alt-tab menu.
