I apologize.  I didn't understand what you were saying until I read
this.  To be quite honest, I didn't know that unchecking the check
5.25" drives preference would just automatically put 5.25" drive icons
on the desktop as long as a 5.25" controller was present.

That is really handy.  Now why didn't I ever figure that out?  :-)

Does this help with standard file dialogs?  That is the other reason I
tend to leave my 5.25" controller disabled because when I click
volumes, which I do quite often especially now that I have 10 hard
drive partitions, the 5.25" drive(s) get scanned and it takes longer
for the list to be filled.
