Hello all,
In my Vista Ultimate "Computer" folder, all the drives, removable devices etc are
lumped together. But in most friends (My) Computer folder in their copy of Vista,
the drives are separated into groups as I remember being the case in XP... there
would be a group called Hard Disk Drives, and a group below that separated by a
horizontal line called Removable Storage Drives or something like that, and then
etc. groups below that, and finally I think the Control Panel was listed if you
opted for that.

How do I turn that feature on in Vista?

Thanks!

Tim

Move your mouse over the 'Type' column header & a drop-arrow should appear.
Click that & then click the 'Group' option.
