SYMPTOMS
When you double-click My Computer on a computer with a multiple-disk CD-ROM changer, it may take a long time (up to several minutes) for the folder to fully appear on the screen.



CAUSE
Windows NT Explorer reads each of the CD-ROMs in the multiple-disk CD-ROM changer for volume information before fully displaying the folder.



MORE INFORMATION
For information about how to restrict access to the CD-ROM drives, and prevent Windows NT Explorer from reading the CD-ROM drives, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
