When I am connected to the internet using internet explorer the computer peridicaly attempts to search the `A` drive. It attempts to read the drive about 4 four times. this tends to not only make a noise but slow the system down. It only seems to do this when I am using the internet, as far as I am aware no other applications are open other than Norton internet security.

I am using Windows ME.

Regards, Stefan

Try clearing your Document History (right click on the taskbar, select properties then Start Menu Programs tab. A button there will enable you to clear the Document History. If it works, let me know!
