For the second question: In the Control Panel - Folder Options - View Tab, do your have a check mark in the box "Remember each folder's view settings"?

well you fixed the last problem, but as to the first one, its not just the size of the icons that annoys me, its the fact that it doens't have the whole "Hard disk Drives" & "Devices With Remobable Storage".

How were we supposed to know how many drives you have attached when you took that snap shot?
Do more drives show up in "Disk Management"?

i don't have any more drives then the ones visible in the screenshot.. i do not want more drives, i don't want to partition my hard drive(even thou there is two drives in the second screenshot), i just want my computer to clasify my hard drive and my dvd drive into seperate categories..
