Read floppy disks without clicking drive icon

When I'm searching for something on a floppy disk I use the floppy disk icon in My Computer. Is there a way to read further disks without repeating this process?

Yes - just swap the disks and press F5. This is the keyboard shortcut for View, Refresh. It will cause Explorer to re-read the contents of the disk or folder it currently has open.
