    Unhappy Win XP and the floppy drive at shutdown.

    I am having this problem with this box, where the floppy drive is grinding as if looking for a file, when i try to shut down. Some times it lasts for afew seconds, sometimes it won't stop until i have to manualy shut the box down.
    ASUS A7N8X-X MOBO
    AMD ATHLON2400 CHIP
    512 MB PC400 MEMORY
    WESTERN DIGITAL 7200 120 MB HD
    ATI ALL IN WONDER 9600 VIDO

    I have had this problem on some older boxes, but all i had to do was clear the recently opened documents folder, and everything would be ok.
    Does win XP have this feature......can't seem to find it.
    Thanks for any help.

    Also make sure your antivirus is not set to check the floppy drive at shutdown.
