There should be a "Start" button on the taskbar (left hand side) at the bottom of the screen. If you right click on this button, a weee list of things should popup. There is an Explore option that you need to pick.
Upon this selection, a window will appear and in it contains every location the computer can see (drive, etc..). You should be able to see the A: drive from there and all its contents.
Not sure if this is what you wanted though?:|

95904 2002-11-04 19:41:00 For Windows XP you can use the TREE command from the command prompt, also by using the redirection command the output can be sent to a file for printing
TREE Graphically displays the folder structure of a drive or path.
TREE [drive:][path] [/F] [/A]
/F Display the names of the files in each folder.
/A Use ASCII instead of extended characters.
e.g. at the CMD prompt:
TREE A: /F /A >C:\FloppyDir.txt
This creates a full directory listing of the contents of the floppy drive and sends the output to a file named FloppyDir.txt which can then be printed.

Cheers, Babe.
