ok so the other day i was messing around in the windows comand promt and i was messing around wiht the "net use" command so i thought "hey... i wonder what happens if i set the drive letter to use to a drive thats in use..." so i pop in "net use A: \\computer\share" then i go to My Computer and shure enough i mapped the drive and got rid of my flopy drive, so im thinkin no biggie ill just disconnect the mapped drive and restart..... well i was wrong. so now i have no floppy drive which doesnt really matter because i never used it before but it buggs the hell outa me that its not there... my boss told me there was some registry edit i had to do but he dident know it off the top of his head and i dont want to do a system restore so if any of you guys know the reg edit or have any idea what to do i'd appreactate it

naturally first remove it from your list of hardware devices...
