This is a wrong assumption.  If you have a PC with only one floppy drive, 
you can refer to it as either A: or B:.  The first time you call it by a 
*different* name (i.e., B: after A: or A: after B:), DOS will pop up a 
message that Shawn wants to disable.  So if that single floppy was 
referenced as B:, and now you call it A:, your suggestion will fail.
