When Windows starts to read a drive, one thing that it looks for is "autorun.inf" 
in the root dir (that means it has to be on the disk/floppy/zip/cd/etc and at the 
highest level) after windows has found this file it will change the icon, so for 
removable media you need to F5 every time you change the disk. This happens for cds 
by its self if you have autorun enabled. You can also specify a program to run when 
the cd/floppy/zip/etc is read by adding.

autorun=programdir.exe pram

If you do, do this then make sure the path is drive independnet.
