Incorrect contents in Windows Explorer

[David]

Windows XP/SP2

I have a problem where Windows Explorer will show the incorrect
contents of a CD/DVD.

Example:
Insert CD into drive. Works like a charm.
Eject CD and insert new CD/DVD
Contents of Windows Explorer still displays the contents from the 1st
CD.

I've tried the following fixes to no avail:

Refreshing the contents manually.
The AutoFix.exe from Microsoft.
A registry entry called NoDriveTypeAutoRun=80

I haven't found anything useful thus far and I'm sure hoping someone
out there can help me out with this very annoying issue. Currently if
I want to watch another DVD, play a different game or install another
app when there is already a CD in the drive, I have to restart the
machine.

Thank you!
