re: Solution for 'Stop Windows from Randomly Searching the Floppy Drive' Thursday, June 5, 2003 at 7:02 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by bunnyslipers (5 messages posted) Rudy: The instructions referenced are found here: Click on Start > Control Panel. Double click on Folder Options. Click on the View tab. Scroll down to just below "Hidden files and folders"; the third box down is "Launch files and folders in a separate process." Mine was unchecked, and I'm still having this problem, so I checked it, clicked on Apply > OK, closed everything, did a restart, and guess what? It didn't work. Anyone have any more ideas? I'm a member of an answer board, AnswerPool.com, and I've posted this same question there. If I get an answer, I'll post back here.
