It seems weard that labels of (ISO) DVD's are not displayed correctly in
Windows Explorer. Even after "Renew" command, the label of a previous DVD is
displayed. Only after clicking "Properties" on the DVD, the right label is
displayed finally...
Is there a fix for this?

Questions - what is the image type of the DVD label? If you are talking
about a program that has problems doing this within Windows, then it
probably is the program and not Windows - check with the vendor of the
program.

If you are talking about a thumbnail image of a particular image format
being displayed in Windows, then this involves a simple registry tweak to
display thumbnails of certain types.

This seems to be a common problem with Windows. Probably a bug that MS never
deemed worthy of fixing.
The problem manifests itself when you eject the media using the eject button
on the physical drive.
A workaround is to always eject the media by right clicking on the drive and
choosing 'Eject" from the menu.

I just gave it a try, but that doesn't seem to make any difference here. I
still have to choose 'renew' after that.

From archive:

Have a look into the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom

The value AutoRun (type DWORD) shoult be set to 1.

Reboot required to take effect. Despite the name of the setting
it does not control the autorun facility. It controls the that
what Windows 95 called 'auto insert notification' which is the
basis for auturun to work because when disabled autorun gets
no message about an inserted CD-ROM.

I'll have a look at it. Indeed, I have been disabling 'autorun' in the past.
The only thing I remember is that this could be achieved by complicated
user-unfriendly register editing. I definitely do not want CD's starting
automatically.



thanks,
