Vista Explorer

How can i turn back Vista explorer to its default settings?
I mean the default, the original one where the drives are organized per type
(i think) and where for any drive there are indications on what's the free
space and the occupied space drawed with a coloured bar.

something recently has changed this settings, and i'm not able to bring it
back, even if i try any infinite flag in the organize and visualization
menues or even with the right click in the computer window.

HELP, please!

Did you try doing a System Restore to before the problem occurred? If
not, that would be my next step.

To run System Restore, go to the Start Orb and in the Start Search box
type "System Restore" without the quotes. System Restore will appear in
the Programs result. Click on it, allow the UAC prompt, and follow the
wizard.

Re: Vista Explorer

Thanks to everybody!
Finally, looking to another PC i find the right way.
It's just in the menu organize, in the layout choice, you have to set the
second and the fourth choice, after that ...
right click in the right pane and select View - Titles and
right-click in the right pane, select Group By...Type

some just as DAVE suggested.

thanks, and greetings.
