Grouchie,
Do you really think I believe my post was a real solution to the problem?
LOL! Though I could have written a "Floppy Checker" Class using the same
"user interface", I didn't think it was necessary to get the point of the
joke across.
However, if you write a windows app that requires the use of a floppy drive,
there is no way to programatically determine if a floppy is in the drive
without accessing the drive (thus the grinding noise from the heads trying
to find the media - a bit louder if there isn't a floppy in the drive).
So, even though it was meant as a joke, asking the user to verify that a
floppy is in the drive before trying to access the drive does actually
address the original question in this thread, whereas deleting the recent
documents folder or disabling recent documents via the registry (while
eliminating unnecessary floppy read attempts by the OS) really have nothing
to do with the original question.
Cheers
Lee

I know you can buy a silencer for a gun, but do they make one for a floppy
drive? Sorry - being sill now
