When in Windows Explorer, go to TOOLS >Folder Options and scroll down to the file type on your disk. It may be that your files are being told to open wiht your default MP3 player software and you can simply change the program it opens those files with by clicking edit and pointing at your desired program, adobe photoshop/word or whatever it may be.

Hi

Was the CD created with DirectCD? If so, you need to make sure that DirectCD is installed on both computers, otherwise you will not be able to view the files.

Good luck
