    When I go into my computer I cannot see my drive letters, if I type in
    the drive letter I can then get to that drive
    :mad:

    Please help as this is very frustrating, I hate having to type in the
    letter of the drive that I wish to use

    Open Computer, click on Organize, then choose Folder Options and the
    View tab. Scroll about halfway down in the Advanced settings window
    until you see "Show drive letters". Check the box and you should be
    happy.

    I have it set on one computer and clear on another, just for kicks.

    BTW, you don't have to see any drive letters to click on the drive
    name.

    Sorry I should have stated the drive name

    The option that you suggested is checked, but still no luck

    Thank you

    OK, then there's apparently a bug. Wish I could help, sorry I can't :-(

    Maybe the letters have been hidden by an 'optimization tool'...
