Title: my computer display
Post by: doodeedoo on September 12, 2007, 05:48:17 AM

hey all! i would appreciate your help on this annoying little issue i've suddenly come across. whenever i use to click on 'my computer' the window would open and show me the icons divided into their categories like:

* hard disk drives
* removable storage
* other?

i never really paid attention to what the headings were, but they divided my hard disk drives from my removable storage drives, and divided the 'My Documents' icons from all that under another heading...

but today after doing nothing really spectacular or different, when i clicked on 'my computer' it displayed all my hard disk drives, removable storage drives and everything else just like you would see in your average folder. like they were all displayed together, not divided up like they use to be.

i've been clicking around with 'view' options but to no avail... any idea on how to bring back that division of drives?

any help will be greatly appreciated :) it's something little, but it's something i've grown use to!

ta!
