Do You Have a Floppy?

I know I don't, but I tend to click it accidentally in Windows Explorer sometimes and it takes a few seconds to respond (which irritates me every time I do it!). So, as always, with a little digging, I found this tidbit that should hide it forever!

1) Open the registry editor by typing regedit in the Run Window.

2) Goto the following key. If it doesn’t exist, create it.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

3) Create (or modify) a 32-bit DWORD key named NoDrives & assign it a value of 1.

That's it!
