Yes, I thought it was weird that the Drive E: entry was disappearing from
the Explorer window when I tried.

Yes, that's what I did, but the end result is different.
Having looked a bit closer, the Icon bar Info of the drive icon says,
"CDFS:0" and "No CD ROM drive present" Ooer!
It obviously is and had a RO Select 6.20 install CD in the drive, so
something is missing behind the scenes.

Clicking (Mouse) Select on the icon bar icon presents...
"Message from CDFS filer"
"Soft-load driver not present."

Eh!
Hangonamo while I run Verma.

I have Active...
CDFS 2.70 15th Feb 2007
CDFSFiler 4.22 08th Feb 2009
CDFS Resources 2.37 08th Feb 2009
CDFSDriver 2.38 26th Feb 2007

Plus a few old CDFSSoftnnnn where nnn is the name of a drive manufacturer.

I wonder what might be missing?

FWIW. The VRPC-AdjustSA install on another machine doesn't work via a
Drive on the Icon bar either (Same result amd messages) on that I access
the underlying CD/DVD drive via a VRPC HostFS definition that puts a drive
on the icon bar.

Unfortunately, files taken off the ADFS CD (6.20 Installer) have all lost
their filetypes... And as expected, only those in archives retain the
filetypes.
