That "ta nad ta na ta na ta nad ."

[burp]

Any one of you ever experienced that sound whenever you open up the c:drive icon in your my compueter icon and then after before it opens up it makes this sound as if you are opening your a:drive and it makes that "ta nad ta na ta na ta nad" sound becuase there is no floppy disk inserted on the dirk drive. So what's causing that sound, thanks.

It's trying to access the Floppy disk drive. Put in a floppy disk and run explorer and access the a: drive once and then access another drive, and close the explorer and take out the floppy disk and reopen the explorer, you shouldn't hear it again. You were probably acessing the floppy disk drive when you last used your explorer and closed it, so it is looking for the Floppy disk that you last acessed.

It could also be trying to access a file that is in your recent docs history that was on floppy. Clear out your recent docs history with TweakUI and that should also help if the above does not get it.

Or you can just manually go to the recent folder locate at c:\Window\Recent\ if you are using Win98.

C:\Winnt\Profiles\Administrator\Recent\ if you are using NT4

You will not see the recent folder if you don't have the option on your window explorer to show all files. Just go into that folder and delete all the recent document icons. Another way would be to go to your start button and click the icon for taskbar and you will see a button to clear all icons in recent folder. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif
