I've been using W98 now for some months with no problems - unlike many
others mine seems to be stable.

However, having made no changes, over the last week or so a curious
change has occurred.  Whenever I open Windows Explorer, before it was
almost instantaneous and opened on drive C.  Now, for no apparent
reason, before the prog opens on screen it tries to read my A and B
drives - 3.5" and 5.25" respectively.

Anyone any ideas why and how to stop it?
