Finding the Cause Wednesday, January 14, 2009 at 6:39 am Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Roland Minner (1 messages posted) Ich finally found the cause of the random floppy accesses when opening 'my computer'. I was able to find the cause using 'Filemon.exe' from the sysinternals suite (you can download it for free from Microsoft). Before starting Filemon you should close most applications so you won't be bombarded with messages about files getting accessed by those apps (as an alternative you can try setting a filter). Then insert a readable floppy into your floppy drive and open the windows explorer. The culprit will then access the drive and you'll see the name of the application in Filemon. After that you can try finding the setting in the app which causes the floppy to be accessed. In my case it was caused by TortoisCVS since i configured it to allow repositories on exchangable media. After disabling that setting the annoying floppy access went away. There are presently no replies to this message.
