CD-ROM Drive Title Remains After You Restore the System Restore Point (267808)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition
This article was previously published under Q267808

SYMPTOMS

Restoring a restore point that you created while a CD-ROM was in the drive, also restores the CD-ROM title in Microsoft Explorer. This behavior occurs whether another CD-ROM is in the drive, or if the drive is empty. When you select the drive, the following error message is displayed:
Program Not Found Windows cannot find AUTORUN.EXE
NOTE: The error message that is received can vary depending on the CD-ROM.

If the CD-ROM drive contains a CD, right-click the drive, and then select Explore to display the files for the CD currently in the drive. Both the title in the folders list and the window title display the previous CD's title.

With the drive containing a different CD, right-click the drive, and then select Properties, and the Label is correct (for example, the title of the current CD in the drive, not the CD that was in the drive when you created the restore point).

With the drive containing a different CD, right-click, and select Open, and the correct title is displayed. When you close that window, the incorrect title remains.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because System Restore restores the Shelliconcache file that contains information on the current drives in Explorer.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this behavior, perform one of the following:
  • Click View in Explorer, and then select Refresh. The correct title and behavior is restored. -or-

  • Open and then close the CD tray to refresh the view.
