    Problem is, whenever i put a dvd in the drive and click on the drive, windows asks me what i want to open the program with, even if its just a storage dvd. Telling it to open w/ windows explorer solves the problem, but i have to do it every time and thats kind of annoying. Any fixes?

    Here's how to change it...you have "AutoPlay" enabled and you need to turn it off.

    Go into My Computer
    Right Click on your optical drive - select Properties
    Another window opens up - select the AutoPlay tab

    From there, just flip through all the various types of CD/DVD's, choose to "Select An Action to Perform" and highlight "Take No Action"

    Apply all changes and close the window.
