    Files on burned CD/DVDs not showing


    I am looking through old CD's/DVD's to see what is on them and when I pop them in all I see is this: DESKTOP.INI



    but as you can see here there is files on the disc:



    When I pop the CD's into my laptop they show up. What is going on here? It is doing it on certain DVD's so far it seems to be doing it on Memorex DVD+R discs.

    I am just guessing because it was only 3-5 discs that have done this so far. Is there a setting or something I am missing?

    I just put a CD-R in and it also refuses to show the files. My friend told me it's because my Drive is -R and the disc is +R. However the CD-R not showing up kind of shoots that theory.

    Did you finalise the DVDs when you burned them?

    I have the same problem, and yes, I finalised DVDs when I burned them.
