Many of those programs keep a list of recently accessed
files. If you recently saved or opened a file that was
located on a floppy, the program may just be checking
to see if it is still there.

Thanks for you reply but that's not it because I don't use floppy drive that

It all started when one time I copied a couple of jpg files from a floopy
disk using windows explorer.
