It caused IE7 to crash about 1 in 4 times I clicked on the 'X' to close the browser. Disabling browser plugin 'drive letter access" fixed the problem

Looks to be something for windows xp, dont know what it is

I know I need it to make Visio work with a MS Sharepoint application...

seems to be related to roxio software

If you have this file, probably you can go to your menu in IE, Tools - Manage Addons, and find a plugin called DriveLetterAccess. In my case, I need this file to get the VPN access to work in IE. I'm looking for a solution to get it to work in Firefox also.. anyone had any luck?
