xp scans my diskette drive all the time

[ShadowFox333]

Hi,
New to Windows XP. Many times during the day as I do things like file compares and double click on explorer
my computer will try to open/scan my diskette drive. Does anyone know how to stop this from happening it is slowing me down. TIA
Bob

Clean your MRU listings:

If the issue continues, look at your Antivirus program settings and disable scanning of the floppy drive.
