Native defrag checks floppy on startup

[Ted Rounsaville]

I am running Windows 2000. Several weeks ago my defrag
program began checking my floppy drive every time I
started it. It just keeps looking at the drive for
something. If I put a floppy disk in it will stop and
allow me to continue normally to defrag my hard drive. At
one time I had found a help request by someone else with
the exact same problem, no one was able to help him
either. I figure somewhere in the registry, defrag looks
for a list of available volumes to defrag and loads this
list when it starts.....but why should my floppy drive be
in the list? Please help. Email me directly, ted

Thanks to you all

This is all I could find for the moment:

But it doesn't help much. But I'll keep thinking about it.
