    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?

    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.
