Hi Guys,

I am running windows xp pro, and "My Computer" is not diplaying C Drive (My Local Disk Drive), D Drive (My Disc Drive) and other drives like my Ext Hdd and iPod. Its strange because all these drives were displaying 5 minutes ago. All i have changed in the mean time is their icons. However the drives still exsit as i can open shortcuts to these drives. However i cannot open stored files through programs. "My Computer" still displays my network drives and also "my bluetooth places"

Please, any advice / fixes would be appreciated, i have already tried system restore, didn't make a difference!

Cheers

Try downloading TweakUI from Microsoft (one of the Powertoys), there is a My Computer->Drives section where you can select or deselect drives. If you find your missing drives unticked then ticking them should bring them back.
