I have upgraded a Dell Opt.GX 100 running NT4 to Win2000. I applied Win2000 SP2. When I right click on a Desktop shortcut {not other icons)the system always tries to access the A: drive and I get a message "Please insert disk in drive A:". I choose Cancel and the context menu will open. How do I stop this?

I have had this happen. It was from copying the shortcut from the floppy directly to the desktop. Try copying it to a temporary folder, then access the program. Then close the program. Then copy it back to the desktop. IT this does not work. Make a new shortcut from the desktop. Be sure that you follow the same path as the one that is there now. Hope this helps.
