IE icon appearing on CD

[ray124c41]

I just burned a copy of a folder containing folders containing image files to
a CD using RecordNow. Instead of getting a copy of what's on my C drive, the
usual icons have been replaced by the IE icon in all but the thumbnail view.
But even there, all the usual folder icons and the image file thumbnails have
the IE icon superimposed on them! Yuk!!

How do I prevent this? How do I get a copy of what's on my C drive without
the IE icon showing up? I have repeated the copy process several times and
get the same result. Never had this problem before.

I have Windows XP Professional SP2 running on an HP Pavilion 734n.

Thank you.

I have just discovered that the problem is not with the copy process, but
with the display of files on CD by Windows Explorer. I know this because the
same things show up in the displays of contents of CDs other than ones I have
created. For some reason, the IE icon shows up everywhere as described in my
original query.

So still, how to get rid of the IE icon(s) in the display?

Start>ControlPanel>FolderOptions then change View or FileTypes tab maybe ?

The Default Internet Explorer Icon is Displayed in Explorer When
a CD/DVD Disc is Opened:

This is a bug in Windows that will never be fixed, however there
is a workaround.

This behaviour happens when 'use large icons' is checked under
'Display Properties-->Effects'.

To fix it:

1. Right-click on the Desktop and select Properties.
2. Click the "Appearance" tab, then the "Advanced" button.
3. Click the down arrow and scroll down to "Icon".
4. Change the size to 47 ("use large icons" sets this value to 48)
5. OK, Apply, OK.
6. Log off or restart.

It worked! The CD icons appear without the egregious IE symbol anywhere!
Thank you, thank you.

Thanks ju.c !
It helped me too.
Just want to mention that you can come back to the 48 size after the first change.

Effectsalive - I got it work!

FYI,

I had the same problem with the Icons comming up as IE icons.

One trick before I came accross this forum was to switch my view from Icons to Thumbnails, but I did not want to change the view for every CD I put in. So I tried the suggestion(s) in this forum.

I disable the Large Icon from
Control Panel>Display Properties>Appearence>Effects>
and unchecked Use Large Icons then clicked OK, then clicked Apply from the Display Properties dialog box.

I put a CD in and the Icon now appear correctly. I then re-enabled Use Large Icons and the problem has seemed to work it's self out. Not sure if this will last but at least it has seems to work so far.

Thank everyone!
