View 5 Replies View RelatedI thought I had it solved before, but it isn't. I do not know why my cd-r and cd-rw do not show in Windows Explorer. Only the floppy disk does. My cd drives do show in my computer and I seem to have fixed it in the send to list, but checking Windows Explorer they still are not there. They seem to work fine. I have Windows XP Home, Sp 2. I have Roxio Easy CD Creator installed but never use it except to erase a cd. I have Spyware Doctor and Norton Internet Security 2006. I'm pretty sure that wouldn't make any difference though

View 3 Replies View RelatedI know this is probably a very simple fix but I can't seem to remember it. When I open windows explorer (xp home) to view files and folders it is not showing me all of them. For example, under c:documents and settings it does not show "local settings..." and all the subfolders. And, when I installed Office it created an install cache folder but it doesn't show that either. How do I turn it on to show all? There is no prompt to "show hidden files". its probably something real simple that I am overlooking.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a mp3 player (sandisk express) that connects to my lap top by usb. I think my kids have uninstalled something recently as the lap top no longer recognises the mp3 player ie. it wont show up in explorer as a drive and no longer turns on and starts charging when it is connected.The problem doesnt seem to be with the mp3 player as it works fine on my desk top. I have tried refreshing it in the device manager but that didnt work.I traced the location of the driver file on my desk top and the same file resides on my lap top in same location.
