re: Solution for 'Stop Windows from Randomly Searching the Floppy Drive' Friday, July 1, 2005 at 7:52 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Mano (1 messages posted) I found the answer to the floppy drive random access Problem. It took me awhile and some restless night to get it. So Here it IS. In Window Explorer, Click Tools, Folder Option, View, Uncheck Show encrypted or compressed NTFS files in color. I hope this will help anyone that is experiencing this particular problem. Best of Luck, Mano On Thursday, April 28, 2005 at 10:33 am, Ester wrote: >That worked brilliantly for me! Thanks so much.
