MessageHi David
I solved the problem in our farm by hiding not only my system drives m: and
n: but also the a: driveletter. Use "hideclac" to find out the hex-key for
registry.
Then user of course don't see there a-drive anymore, but btw why should
they. Who uses floppies !
And if the need to:
a) type a: in der adress bar
b) type \\client\a$ in adress bar (hope "remove run from start menu" GPO
isn't set)
c) copy them a link to a) in thei Home-Drive
For us, this did work. Let me know the outcome ?
Ciao, Daniel

Hi Sean
I have the same issue but without any good solutions to prevent this
"floppy seeking".
I'm searching and/or waiting for a real solution.

Subject: [THIN] [THIN ] Floppy Seeking in MetaFrame XP
Hi! 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!
Bye for now,
