Where are my drives?

Post by pjdevries »

Since yesterday I "lost" most of my drives in XYplorer (v8.70.0100). Windows explorer still shows all of them: A, C, D, E, H, M, N, O, P, S, Y and Z. All are accessible. A in fact doesn't exist. C, D and E are internal HDD's. Y and Z are DVD drives. The rest are mapped network drives.

Any idea what may have cased this and how to fix it?

You see your drives when you select the MyComputer node in the tree (that's the top node)?

Thanks for the reply.

I appologize because I see my first post wasn't complete. What I forgot to mention is, that I do see drives C: and D: but none of the other ones; so neither the other internal HDD (E:) and DVD drives (Y:, Z:), nor any of the mapped network drives.

Is that the answer to my question? This would be so weird that I would like to see a screenshot to believe it.

I guess I have to appologize again, because I didn't mention the drives are just not visible in the navigation panel. After clicking (My)Computer, all drives are visible in the folder pane on the right, but still not in the navigation panel. Only after I open a drive in the folder pane, it also shows up in the navigation panel (see drive H: in attached screen shot). However, this wasn't the case before. Up to a day ago, all drives were always visible in the navigation pane.

Any clues?

Yep, that's it! Thanx. A bit weird though. It's not something you easily switch on accidently.

Alt+M by factory default. Maybe a cat walked over your keyboard... :)
