Jesus, Nemo you alright?! Spaz! .... Stop Smiling!
Problem description: A few months ago I was trying to find old software I used to play as a kid that was available for free and using some guides online on how to get it to play. If I remember correctly it would have been an ISO file for SimTown. In doing this, the way I attempted to play it was by mounting it to the D drive using a command prompt of some sort. I don't remember if it was a command prompt or Powershell. I was never able to get it to work so I ended up just deleting all the files related to it but now every time I boot up my computer it shows SimTown as being in my D drive. I eject it every time but each time I boot my computer its back again.

Attempted fixes: I tried googling how to undo it, I can't remember exactly which guide I used to teach me how to mount it in the first place. One way I attempted to fix it was by using the command prompt
code:
mountvol D: /P
but got the message "This volume does not support this operation. Dynamic volumes and removable volumes do not support this operation."

Recent changes: No recent changes other than my goof in the first place

I'm not seeing anything related to SimTown when I run the program and I tried filtering it as well. But thank you very much for the suggestion, I like this program.
