  Has anybody else had a problem with Windows 3.0 putting garbage on
the harddisk when there is no floppy in drive a:?

  It has happened twice now. From a file Selector, I will, by accident,
click on A:, and it comes up with a message saying it can't read A:
(Obviously,, because there is no floppy in at the time) So I select Cancel
and it locks the system.  When I reboot it's put trash in the windows
directory which cannot be removed by anything short of reformating the
drive.  If I leave the trash there, files start dissappearing, until
nothing is left at all on drive C:.

  Does anybody know what I'm talking about, and why it is happening?
