userinit.exe accessing Floppy at st

I Just installed Quickbooks Pro 2002. Now everytime I boot up, Windows looks for something in the floppy drive. I get this error message "Windows\sytem32\Userinit.exe" "No disk in Floppy drive" I hit cancel and it finishes booting up just fine.
I've searched Intuit's website and found nothing about this error. I've searched the System startup utility, Registry, win.ini and system.ini and I can't find any command that would be causing this. I assume it's related to Quickbooks only because that's the last thing that was installed before this started happening.
Any help with this problem will be greatly appreciated!

I found the problem! Quickbooks actually created an autoexec.bat. It must have, because it wasn't there before. I didn't think that Xp would even access an autoexec.bat, but there it was in my root directory! It had a "path=A:\" command in it.
Needless to say, this no longer exists and my floppy accessing woes are over! :)
