deleting virtual drive letter

[fear]

On my WinXP PC for some reason I have a drive in Explorer called F:,
but I only have one hard drive. The F drive is empty, so I think
someone somehow got a virtual drive name or something but it's really
just nothing. How do I delete this so it does not show up in File
Explorer, or to keep Norton Disk or Defrag from asking how to deal
with this drive? I just want it to go away.

Try:
Start | Run | Subst F: /d

Right click it and select Properties. Does that give you any hints?
