A Laugh For Everyone

1) Using Administrator, deleted the four Kingston drives F G H I shown in "My Computer" (which since I have them all unplugged, shouldn't be there anyway).

2) "For changes to take effect, you will need to restart your computer...do you want to do this now...?"

3) Yes

4) Grind grind whir whir

5) Screen comes up

ZARKING FARDWARKS !

6) "Windows has detected new hardware....device drivers being installed...etc etc"

7) All four icons for non-existent drives F G H I are back in "My Computer" despite being physically removed and no other drives plugged in anywhere (except my LaCie backup hard drive).

Fun, isn't it !
