Inappropriate A: drive accessing...

Your system may be looking for something on A: drive. A couple of thoughts.

Back-up your registry before trying this.

Take a look in your registry under the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\* for anything that looks like it could cause this behaviour. If you find something suspicious, export it, then delete it.

Another thing to try: Use Edit/Search to find A: in your registry and see if it's found in a place it doesn't belong.

If the problem is fixed, you're done; If not, you can import the stuff you deleted. If you find you've a mess on your hands, restore your registry.

Cheers, PW.

P.S. A few posts back (on this thread) someone posted links to Windows tweaks and annoyances. Following those links will lead to a more detailed investigation of the problem(s) you're experiencing. I can't remember 'exactly' what was suggested, but if you're still stuck, take a moment and explore this stuff. Can't hurt. (Look at mark's posts. He finds stuff Superman would overlook.)
