Default USB devices (HDD or Flash) not shown in XP explorer but show in IE

Hi all,
I am running WinXP sp2. when I plug any usb device in, Windows recognises
the device, assigns a driveletter, will allow me to safely remove it etc.
However the device will NOT show up in Windows Explorer BUT it DOES show up
if i type the drive letter OR 'My Computer' into the address line of IE.
(NOTE: if I boot up or LOGIN with the device connected everything is fine...)
Does ANYone have a solution for me - (I can put up with it but its driving
my family nuts,,,).
