Look in your Citrix Policies \ Client Devices \ Client Drives \ Client Drive Mapping. Set the value to turn off floppy drive for those that don't want it. (Better yet, create a global group called "XP-nofloppy" and assign that policy to the xp-nofloppy group. I did this to fix 5 users that got errors seeking a floppy drive when they connected. _____ Brian Claus, A+, Network+, MCP Network Administrator WESCO Distribution, Inc. 225 West Station Square Drive, Suite 700 Pittsburgh, PA 15219-1122 Phone: 412-454-2412 Fax: 412-454-2540 bclaus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:bclaus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> _____ -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Sean Carr Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2003 3:05 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 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!
