Hi,

I have xp pro, whenever I check the file properties of a
file (right
clicking) it always pauses for a second and looks for a
disk in my disk
drive then lets me continue. Anyone know how to fix this??

thanks

please email me if anyone knows a fix for this
 
Hi,

Start/run regedit

Click edit/find

Search for A:\

It will most likely turn up in a key containing MRU (for Most Recently
Used).

Highlight the string in the right pane by left clicking it, click
registry/export and save it to a location you can find later if necessary.
Then delete that string, and agree to the warning.

If there are problems resulting from the deletion, you can simply
double-click the exported copy to return things to the way they were. If all
goes well, then you can simply delete the exported copy at a later date.

Close the registry editor, the effect should be immediate.
