Here's Horst's reply;

Sorry, my FIDO software is wiped from the disk..

My Computer / Properties, last tab (Performance..)
then: File System / Removable Media

(hope that's what it is in English)

Not sure if that really does the job.
I guess he wants to avoid comparing the disk files with the
cached files. 
I don't know any other way but pressing the floppy button
and push it back in. :(

Regards,
Horst.

Horst didn't say which version of Windows he's using.  On the Win95 and 
Win98 I use at work, I think it's under My Computer / System, but I 
couldn't see anything to change caching.

     Regards,

              Robert.
