I have a Sony DRU-810A CD/DVD burner. When I bring
up Explorer the first time after a log in, it just hangs trying
to get info out of the drive. I have a CD-RW disk in there
that was formated using Roxio. I Ctrl-Alt-Del->Task Manager->
Applications, and kill the explorer process. Then I explore
again with NO problem. Any clues why this could be?
 
Take the disk out of the drive _before_ you boot up. Or disable your
disk drives auto-run.

Well it's NOT just CD-ROMs, but HDs as well. That is, once I
log in, and explore one of the folders with actual files in any
of my drives, seems like explorer hangs. If I kill it, and explore
again, no problem.

Do you have any drive-mappings to network drives that are slow or
non-existent? That would make explorer seem to hang the first time until
it gives up and marks the mapping as bad. The next time it will work
normally.

This may be the reason. I don't wait for Explorer to give up though,
I kill it. And yes the next time I explore it's ok. Thanks!

If that *is* the reason, then kill the drive mapping and you won't have
the problem.
