Weird bug in winXP 'no disk in \device\harddisk1\dr12' when starting QuickTime

Another weird micr$oft bug... (or is it a quicktime bug). When starting QuickTime a popup keeps showing up showing the massage 'no disk in \device\harddisk1\dr12' (and none in \device\harddisk2\dr14, \device\harddisk3\dr15, \device\harddisk4\dr18, 12 popups in total).

Microsoft wrote a technote on it, but that didn't work for me...

Finally found an answer on some german site.

They claim QuickTime keeps a list of recently used items and every time QuickTime starts, checks for the items in the list. Some of the recently used items were on removable drives (memory stick). Quicktime (or is it windows) doesn't recognize the removable drive and shows the error.

Solve the problem by clearing the list of recently used items, or remove the file
c:\docs&seetings\all users\appdata\quicktime\QuickTimeFavorites.qtr
