Please can anyone tell me why it is that if I have used my 3.5 inch floppy
disk drive during a session, when I later shutdown, this drive starts
whirring? (No there's no disk in it at shutdown!)
 
Rightclick the start button, Properties, Customize button, Advanced tab, see button to 'clear list' the recent documents.
 
Actually, I've now sussed it. It was a setting in Norton Antivirus! Thought
someone might like to know.
 
Hello Jess,

I have a similar problem. CLEAR does not eliminate the effect entirely. I
had Norton System Works installed to help a friend with a problem, and think
that may be when it started. I have since uninstalled NSW, but the floppy
gets repeatedly accessed, multiple times, for no apparent reason. If you
could elaboate on your solution I would appreciate it. Perhaps that might
help resolve my problem.

Thanks.
