Any time you read a flash card in one of the built in readers, those
drives will come back. They are like any other usb drive that is
connected all the time. Windows will read them and put them in My
Computer. as you say, you can use the remove, but then you would not be
able to read a card in any of the builtin reader slots. Also, being
that they are permanently connected to the usb, the next time you boot,
it will add them back.

Original Question ... <snip> So now I have an 'A' (the flash drive where I
have everything backed up and can edit when necessary), a 'C' which is the
hard drive, a 'D' partition which Compaq uses for Recovery purposes, an 'E'
which is the CD drive, and four other lines listed, 'Removable Disks (F:)
through 'Removable Disk (I:)'. Does anyone know how to remove those extra four
lines from the list? And if they are needed, what are they used for? ---

Seems I found the answer ... for weeks an icon has been sitting in the System
Tray called "Safely Remove Hardware." I'm not sure how to use it but seeing
two entries there called "USB Mass Storage Device" (one of them had the extra
four "Removable Disk" lines listed. I removed that entry and those extra four
lines disappeared from the left pane of the Explore window; problem solved.
