I have put a shortcut to my Sony DVD RW on my desktop. A few days ago I
used the CD for a new Logitech multimedia keyboard to install the software
for the board. Now, that blooming Logitech Icon appears in the shortcut
even when the drive is empty and when some, but no all, other CD's are in
the drive. I've looked at the autorun.inf for those CD's and nothing
appears out of the ordinary. The icons for them are right there on the CD
but the Logitech one seems to override them.


I almost forgot to mention that I have deleted the shortcut several times
and put a
new one on the desktop. I just now inserted an HP CD and, sure enough, the
Logitech Icon came up in the shortcut as well as My Computer. Go figure!




How can I stop this strange behavior?

Delete the shortcut from your desktop (there should be nothing in the
cd-drive).

Reboot.

Make a new shortcut on the desktop (again with nothing in the drive).

FWIW, the behavior you are describing is an indicator that the drive itself
may be going south.

Thank you, Bobby.

I have tried that with the same result.

I wonder if those living in the Southern Hemisphere refer to things going
bad as going North?
