Here are a few suggestions patkim ...


(1) If your virus checker is set to scan the floppy, turn that function off.

(2) Is "A:\" mentioned at "START, Programs, MS-DOS Mode, type:SET, hit Enter"?

(3) http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb ... 2/2/42.asp

(4) You have FindFast running. Go to the Control Panel, open FindFast and delete all indexes and remove the FindFast icon from the Start folder. Unless you have an
extraordinary amount of Office files FindFast is of little value to you.

(5) Some times just putting any 3.5" disk in the drive and accessing it and then closing with the X in the upper right hand corner will clear the constant accessing.

Also Update definitions & check for viruses

Thanks for your suggestions. I tried them but no apparent success.
My observation is that with ‘Windows Key + E’ floppy drive is not accessed.
So what’s the difference between selecting explorer from start menu and hitting Windows Key + E.
Thanks..

I think it might have to do with your recently viewed file list.

Right click on the task bar and select properties, go to the start menu tab.
Click the customize button, select the advance tab, click the clear list button.

See if that helps
