Solved: Removing "Floppy Disk Drive (A:)" from Computer

[yonyz]

Hi,

I don't have a floppy disk in my computer, and I would like to remove the
"Floppy Disk Drive" icon from "Computer" on Windows Vista.

Sometimes I accidentally double click it and it freezes the computer for a few seconds.

Thanks in advance.

If you do NOT have a drive then where is the ICON?

Are you sure that some other device has NOT been assigned to these drive letter?

I'm not sure what you mean.

Here's a screenshot of the message I get when double clicking the Floppy drive icon:

There is no Floppy drive in my PC.

I have seen Vista do this if there is no floppy and Drive A: is enabled in BIOS. If you can disable it in BIOS it will go away in Vista.

I just disabled it in the Device Manager.
It disappeared immediately.

Thank you both.
