    On starting Notepad++ I always get a “There is no disk in the drive…” pop up which takes a few button presses before the program will start. Could someone please tell me if/how I can stop the program searching for “\Device\Harddisk2\DR2” on startup?

    Thanks for any help.

      Hello Alan Wadsworth,

      this message comes from the NT Volume Manager if I remember correctly.
      And this means, that npp might be the trigger for this message but maybe not the program
      which caused it. So, this cannot be easily answered.
      Do you have further information like

      which drive letter is assigned to \Device\Harddisk2\DR2? (Disc Management)
      How was npp installed? Or portable?
      Using a stick? Which OS? etc.
      As much infos as possible may help to find the root of the cause.

      Cheers
      Claudia
