How many floppy drives
do you plan on adding to your computer in the near future? The average user
won't add any, but Windows 98 attempts to be intuitive by searching for new
floppy drives on every boot-up. To keep Windows from looking (and to slightly
speed up booting time), right-click on 'My Computer' and select 'Properties.'
Then click the 'Performance' tab, press the 'File System' button, then select
the 'Floppy Disk' tab. Remove the checkmark from the box. While you're there,
you might scope out the 'Removable Disk' tab, too.
