Missing option on CD/DVD autoplay properties

When I go to the CD/DVD Drive properties and click on the Autoplay tab and choose the "Blank CD", the option to "Open folder to view files using Windows Explorer" has dissapeared from the list of options and I am trying to put it back but I don't know how

If it's a blank CD, you won't see anything anyway - I think it's actually doing the right thing.

Hi GLC, Thanks for the reply but the problem is not related to autoplay itself but to the options that I can choose to open that CD with. A while back on the autoplay options for a blank CD I could choose "Open folder to view files with Windows Explorer" and every time I inserted a blank CD the contents window inmediately opened. There is nothing on that blank CD but I want it to open automatically so I can "drag" items inside for copying.

That option of automatically opening the CD contents with Windows Explorer has dissapeared from the list of options and the other options (to open the CD with some application or to copy the contents with another application or "do nothing", etc, these options I don't use) So... basically I don't know how or why that option to open the blank CD with windows explorer dissapeared (but this option still shows as an option for other types of media like Music CD, video files, miscelaneous contents , etc this option is still there for the rest of the media types listed)

I am trying to RESTORE the Windows Explorer option (or choice) to open the CD automatically upon insertion (without asking me what to do) and view the contents of the CD.
