Get groupings back in Computer window

11-30-2007

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?

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?

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.

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.

M. Krantz Guest	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?
