Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Explorer Seeks DVD Drive

cianr · 2006-03-03 11:59:02

Hey All, Quick question if I may - is there any easy way to stop explorer seeking my DVD drive any time I open it(explorer) - I hit open explorer and it then takes a few seconds to spin up my DVD drive before allowing me access to files. 9 times out of 10 I dont want to access the DVD, just the C Drive. Thanks! :D

Can't think of anything off-hand without actually disabling the drive, but you could just hit Windows Key + R, then c:

If you go to My Computer, right-click on your DVD drive, select Properties, go to the Autoplay tab, then select the relevant file types in the dropdown list and set them to Take no action
