Get groupings back in Computer window

In Vista Home Premium, usually when you click on the Start orb and then
Computer, you see a window listing all your drives organized into two main
areas: hard disk drives and removable storage. It's kind of handy.

For some reason, though, those groupings disappeared. Is there a way to get
them back?

Re: Get groupings back in Computer window

Explain what you mean by 'disappeared'? Do you mean that there are longer
any drives showing or that they are just in a different order/grouping?

Re: Get groupings back in Computer window

Hi. The drives are still there, but they are just a big list in alphabetical
drive letter order. The headings, "Hard Disk Drives" and "Devices with
Removable Storage" have disappeared.

Re: Get groupings back in Computer window

Right-click on a blank area of the right pane, select "Group By", "Type"
IF you don't see "Type", click on "More.." and select it.
