Right click on desktop, choose new, then shortcut.
Insert this script to reformat 3.5 with a single double click.

%windir%\System32\Rundll32.exe shell32.dll,SHFormatDrive

hehe, another great tip. There are shortcuts for just about anything that can be made, including Shutdown and Logoff.

I am glad everyone has progressed past the floppy disk here. But unfortunatlely not all the computers I work on will do without them. I still have a nice supply of them with great programs and use them regularly!

hey hey hey, we weren't dissing or anything. I too have a crap load of Floppy disks with "stuff" on them :) but unfortunately My floppy drive is a dust magnet and that's the only use I find for it LOL, unless I break out the old 386 :P
