[gui-talk] Lost auto context menu when inserting music CD

[Joel Deutsch]

I'm using Windows XP Home. it used to be that when I inserted a music CD in 
that drive, intending either to play, copy or rip, an application context 
menu would always spring up giving me a list of actions from which I could 
choose. This was always so handy.

But just today, I inserted a CD I wanted to rip, and the menu didn't pop up. 
In this case, I wanted to rip it using WMP, so I launched Windows Media 
Player, determined that it knew what was in the drive, and proceeded to rip.

But if I'd wanted to play the CD using Winamp, or any number of other 
possibilities, I'm not sure what I'd have done, I'm so used to that context 
menu. How do I get it to pop up again when I insert a music CD? Is this 
something in Control Panel or something, a setting that's come undone on its 
own? Or...?

thanks,
Joel
