SYMPTOMS
The directory listing of a particular drive is replaced by the directory listing of a floppy disk drive.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, wait for the windows to refresh or use the drop-down box to select the desired drive.



Steps to Reproduce the Problem

 * 1) Place a disk with files on it in drive A.
 * 2) On the View menu, click Options, then choose Single Windows mode.
 * 3) Open drive C and place it at the top of the screen. Consider this instance 1.
 * 4) Below instance 1, open a second instance of My Computer. Consider this instance 2.
 * 5) Double-click the drive A icon (instance 2).
 * 6) Before instance 2 finishes its refresh, touch the windows of instance 1 (either on the title bar or somewhere inside; the important thing is making instance 1 active).

The contents of drive A are now applied to the active window, which was drive C.
