Getting rid of floppy seek at Windows 2000 Login?

[ceraph]

How? Can I? Why does it seek the floppy while logging in anyway? What could you possibly have in there that could be of any relevance to login?

I'm not referring to the floppy seek at boot, so please don't refer me to a BIOS setting. I'm referring to the floppy seek that occurs as the login pane flashes by when you have Windows 2000 configured for automatic login.

i'm looking for the same solution. the only thing i've heard is to uncheck a box somewhere that tells the OS to look for new drives everytime it boots up, but i'm not sure if it's even for win2000. anyhow, here's a bump.

my Win2k only scans the A Drive if i had shutdown/logged off when displaying contents from my A drive previously

otherwise it wont...

for example if you had Windows Explorer open, displaying your A Drive contents, then shutdown/logged off, and then relogged on/booted up and went to open Windows Explorer, it would ask you to insert a disc into drive A even before you see anything... cuz the last thing you were lookin at was somthing on a floppy disk, now it wants it back



thats all that i can think of

Bump!

I posted the same thing a couple days ago and nobody had the answer..

It doesn't happen on my Win2K, but (grasping here)...

maybe a PATH statement referencing A: in AUTOEXEC.BAT???
