    Random CD Rom Spin-ups

    Why is it that whenever i double click My Computer or any other random thing, my CD rom drives suddenly spin up and lag the poop outta the opening of my folders? Is there anyway that i can fix this?

    If you have a cd in the drive..take it out and it will quit spinning up.

    It does that so that you can see the title and icon for the CD that you left in.

    I think if you right click the start button and select the explore option you will get the windows explore window without the cd spinning up. Not really a fix, more of a work around.
