I have a nasty little dialogue with VFP last couple of days because I used to have a disk in my optical drive at some moment. Now until it gets flushed out of some MRU list, I'll have to click "continue" about 3 or 4 times each time I launch VFP, because it's looking for some files it mentions somewhere. The disk, BTW, contained absolutely nothing that would interest VFP. It just detected the drive was available, put it somewhere on a list, and now I'll have to wait for Alzheimer to flush it out.
