That I believe was a symtom of an old ICA client.

I'm new(-ish) to the list and this is my first post so please be gentle. ;) I'm using 2K Server/MF XP with a variety of clients on the desktop. I've looked throught the list archives, Thin FAQ and the Citrix KB. That done, I'll admit to being a bit confused on the so-called "Floppy Seek" issue. Here's my problem SOME of my users need floppy access thru Citrix but ALL are not too happy (ha!) with the floppy being accessed if they log into Citrix, go to My Computer, or do a File, Open in an application. What I've seen reccommended is: 1. A registry hack - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogin\Parse - Autoexec REG_SZ=1 - Change the value from 1 to 0 - Ensure that the Windows Explorer view is set to a view different than "Details". 2. A module.ini hack (in the module.ini file on the client PC, find the [ClientDrive] section. DisableDrives = A) 3. Batch file line added in 2K profile for clients: NET USE A: \\CLIENT\A$ None of these are satisfactory. The first doesn't seem to do anything (and the key doesn't even exist in 9x) and the second results in no floppy access at all. And the third seeks the floppy on the server. Ideal for the users would be to disable the floppy and then re-enable it thru a batch file for those users that require it. Question: is this possible? PS This is an Thin Client excellent resource - thanks for the excellent reading!
