I hate autoplay, so I disable it - doing so will cause what your
seeing.

No big deal you just put in a different CD and open it, the CD name
stays the same, but the contents will be different.

Anyhow:

First run Erunt
http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/

Then

Start | Run <type in>
REGEDIT
<enter>

Goto this key:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom

Double click on AutoRun and make sure it's set to 1
(If 0 Explorer will not refresh the CD)

Forgot, you will need to reboot for this to take.

Are you saying this is happening to me as well /because/ I have
autoplay (which is idiotic, I agree) disabled?

Is this CD drive behavior supposed to be the punishment for
disagreeing with MS's "we know what's best for you" policy?

Using that reg key, yes. If I boot-up or insert a CD named "Twitch",
no matter what CD I put afterwards will be called "Twitch".

But the disk contents will be different.

I never changed the reg key, I just disabled autoplay in TweakUI
or wherever you do it.

BION, I don't have it! (Win98SELite). ?

I really don't care, anyway. If every little thing that annoys
me about Windows got to me, I'd be drooling in a corner of a
padded room in a mental hospital. (Not that I'm not close
anyway.)
