    Use USB as a password/key

    If you are in a hurry to do this, skip into the numbered steps below.(But keep in mind that I recommend you to read these facts before locking your computer with a usb drive)

    new drive named local disk(z) is appearing

    Solved... at least for me.

    I tried some of the other suggested methods to get rid of "local disk (z) with no success.

    However, a simple System Restore to an earlier version removed the mystery disk Z: completely.

    Local Disk D:

    I continue to get messages telling me that my local disk D: is full. It asks me if I want to do a disk clean up. When I say yes, it takes me to disk clean up, but there is nothing showing that is on locak disk D:. It shows that I have plenty of space
    and nothing gets deleted off of it.

    What is actually stored on local disk D: and why am I getting this message if nothing is showing on it when I go to disk clean up?
