Most likely it is antivirus, that checks if the diskette is inserted -- to prevent the potential virus infection if this diskette is bootable. -- Mikhail Zhilin http://www.aha.ru/~mwz Sorry, no technical support by e-mail.

Mikhail is correct. If you really want to stop this behavior, you can
probably configure your anti-virus not to check the floppy on shutdown by looking for options or preferences within the antivirus program. PattyL "J. P. Willis" wrote in message ...
