Floppy drive seek when opening explorer

[jstolz]

My floppy recently started being accessed on accessing explorer (including SaveAs dialog boxes).

I searched the MS KnowledgeBase but found nothing, and also searched Regedit.com--I found one post on solving this problem by deleting:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\Explorer
"NoDriveTypeAutoRun"=dword:00000091

However, I didn't find that value under Policies\Explorer, nor did I find it under HKCU--in fact, I did a search and came up with zip.

Any ideas on how to eliminate this pesky floppy seek?

Check this out, an old posting of mine.. .a similar problem, but not the same. It might give you a fresh angle of attack.

...that was it. Actually, I had documented that value, but up to now, always thought that it only disabled autostarting the CD drive.
