Cannot 'open' a DVD

[Michael]

Have a DVD in drive e:
in 'computer' window' I see the DVD and an icon of a disc with DVD on it so
seems to recognize it.
If I double click on the icon I get

This file does not have a program associated with for performing this
action. Create an association in the Set Associations control panel.

This also occures if I right click and select either open or play. Explore
works as expected (can see the folders). Autoplay also works correctly,
starts up WMP11.

I can find setting associations with file type extensions but not 'a DVD in
drive' .

Pointers greatly appreciated.

What is on the DVD? What exactly are to trying to accomplish?

If you just want to see what files are on the DVD, right click and choose
explore. If it is a video, and you do not have the applicable codec
installed on your computer, inserting the DVD, or double clicking on it,
will likely do nothing.
