You can create (and see what the file does) by creating a new txt file using notepad. 
Then paste the following (between the -----) into it:
--------------------------------------------
Option Explicit 




On Error Resume Next 

Dim WshShell, Message 

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 

WshShell.RegDelete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contr ol\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\UpperFilters" 
WshShell.RegDelete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contr ol\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\LowerFilters" 
WshShell.RegDelete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servi ces\Cdr4_2K\" 
WshShell.RegDelete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servi ces\Cdralw2k\" 
WshShell.RegDelete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servi ces\Cdudf\" 
WshShell.RegDelete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servi ces\UdfReadr\" 
Set WshShell = Nothing 

Message = "Your CD/DVD-Rom drives should now appear in Windows Explorer." & vbCR 
Message = Message & "You may need to reboot your computer to see the change." 

MsgBox Message, 4096,"Finished!"

--------------------------------------------
Then close and save the txt file. Then rename the file xp_cd_dvd_fix.vbs

Once that is doen, double click the file, should work.
