Like "I used the back and forth buttons on my browser to see if I had a reply." would be nice to know.

How to Stop Applications Accessing CD ROM Drives
================================================
Based on recommendations at this forum, I have
stopped opening files directly from the discs
in the CD-ROM drives, when using: WordPad,
NotePad, Acrobat Reader etc.
I might have used it, because now some other
applications try to access the drives and in few
cases, if there is no disc in the drive, then will
stop and return error messages.
I tried RUN >>> RegEdit >>> Key word: Drive
letters of the drive (F:\ and G:\) and delete
some enteries, but no success.
None of the *.INI files at C:\Windows have
any reference to these drive letters.
Can someone recommend some alternate procedure.
Thanks
Frankie
