Autoplay Media Type Missing

[Pat]

On the AutoPlay tab for my CD-RW drive, the option for Recordable CD in the
select content type box is missing. It has:
Music files
Pictures
Video files
Mixed content
Music CD

It used to have a Recordable CD choice after those to set what would happen
when a blank CD was inserted. Strangely enough, this option has gone missing
on two different computers. Also, on the DVD drive AutoPlay tab, an option
for HD DVD movies appeared, making me think that maybe these changes in
behavior were caused by a Microsoft update. Nevertheless, the blank CD option
should not have disappeared. Any ideas on how to get it back?

My system does not show that option either (I do have a burner). It's
probably the update.

I have the same problem with the Blank CD content type not being listed as an
option for Autoplay, even though I have a CD-RW drive that otherwise works
fine, including burning CDs. Does anyone know for sure whether or not this
is a Microsoft problem, and if so, how soon they plan to release a fix for it?
