I have this deviling problem and I need some help.  I run among other
things WP 6.1 (16 bit) and Office 95 and whenever I goto file open, the
computer trys to open the A:\ drive.  Of course there is nothing there so I
have to wait several seconds while it tries.  Even if there is a diskette
in the drive it goes to look.  Even if the last file I opened was on the
C:\ drive, it goes to the A:\ Drive.  Even when the default drive in File
Open is the C:\ is looks to A:\ First.  This happens in WordPerfect, and
Excel.  It also searches the drive when I use Netscape or when I load a new
page in Netscape.  I have seen other computers do this but have never
figured out why.  I suspect WP has something to do with it as well.  If you
have figured out how to fix this, please drop me an email.  Thanks.
