Odd behaviour of Windows Explorer after installing IE6

[john]

Greetings,

I've just upgraded from IE5.5 to IE6 in Win98SE. IE6 seems to be
working without hitches but Windows Explorer is now behaving oddly.

First it seems much slower at refreshing (when F5 is pressed) and, if
I remove a CD form the drive, it immediately says that Drive D is not
accessible but still keeps the volume label in the left pane and the
file tree in the main pane. Sometimes it shows more than one instance
of the CD drive in the left pane.

Any thoughts/suggestions?


Regards

As for your slow refresh issue...

Boot to DOS (Start...Shutdown...restart in MS-DOS mode)
Go to C:\Windows
type -- smartdrv -- <enter> - gets rid of all that disk thrashing
type -- deltree history -- <enter and y to verify> - to clear History
type -- deltree tempor~1 -- <enter and y to verify> - to clear TIF
Reboot

For your CD drive problem, post this issue to one of the Windows 98 support
newsgroups.
