    2007 an XP oddity

    My accountant is running Xp pro.
    She thinks she did something to cause the following.

    When using explorer to open the DVDROM D: all folders and files have the icon for url's.

    Doesn't matter what disk or what file format. Folders .docs .pdf .jpg .etc they all have url icons. It makes browsing the disk a beech. If you had a folder and a file with the same name you cant tell it apart. It's not the media at fault it's system specific.

    The bizzare thing is that the C: drive isn't affected.

    Any ideas?

    Cheers.. Scutter
    And Control Enter STILL wont let me post a reply.

    well only thing I can come up with is maybe spyware or you might need to flash the firmware in the drive.

    Or it might be this
    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."
