Do a drive search for *.lnk
and see if there is a shortcut referencing the A: drive
if so, you can just delete it
Note: Do NOT delete the link that says "send to"
There are many hundreds of files with the .lnk extension. How can I
check where they reference?

Yes...and that is normal
You need to look only at those that reference the A: drive
and nothing else
I'm not sure how to tell what they reference, unless I right click
on every file and select properties.
I think that's what you have to do, but even if you find a shortcut
that has A: in the target file's path, it doesn't mean that's what's
causing the floppy drive to thrash.
The vast majority of these LNK files can be ruled out, though, because
if the shortcut is one you recognize, and it's a link to a program you
know is on your HD, you needn't investigate it further.
In my explorer window it tells me the name of the link and where the
link is located, but not where it references.
