Hello Folks... Myself Ajay.. this is my first post here.. was having a problem.. so came across this forum... seems quite an interactive forum...

Now, der is this strange problem wid ma pc...
Whenever m browsing files... i cannot find my Hard Drives... C,D,E & F..
like.. in nero.. when m trying to add files thru add option.. nd when i click MY COMPUTER... no drive is visible?? i mean just Removable drives are der...

same is da case when i want to attach a file in my mail.. i cant get thru the drives.. they r invisible.. nd if i open My computer normally.. i mean by double clicking on desktop My Computer.. every drive is der...

Have you also posted about it at other forum? coz I hv replied the same question in another forum recently. :D

Try this. Open regedit and goto:

Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Policies\Explorer

In right side pane, make sure there is no DWORD value "NoDrives". If its there, delete it.
