If I open FilePicker in open-folder mode and then click on the plus sign in
front of "My Computer" then I immediately get a message: "There is no disk in
drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\harddisk2\DR6." This should not
happen unless I actually click on the diskette drive icon. Also the drive
location seems to be some *nix holdover. On my machine the drive in question is
drive A:.

Reproducible: Always

For those of you who don't have diskette drives, they are squarish plastic
thingy's for storing ridiculouly small amounts of data.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
