So you mean you cannot see your drive in windows explorer?

I cannot see my local hard drive C or D in windows explorer. I know that it's there somewhere because when I ran my virus scan it scanned my C drive files.
Thanks

See if this helps


go to run

Type gpedit.msc
Click OK

In the tree go to
User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Explorer

In the right window look for 'Hide these specified drives in My Computer'
Properties on that item and see if that has been tampered with

Edit:
If that doesn't work try running regedit and go to

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer]

And check if "NoViewOnDrive" is there, if so delete it

Got it taken care of. There was still a virus there. I use run/regidit to restore some files. I'm in business!

Thanks
