    The computer view you show in your screenshot will never show webcams, so there is nothing to fix. It only shows storage locations, different disk drives like hard disks, CD/DVD drives, USB Flash drives and mapped network drives.

    It will not show webcam, nor is it meant to do that.

    Yes, every device with storage space is shown in Computer view.

    I think you are talking about Devices and Printers view. Please see this tutorial to see how to add Devices and Printers to your My Computer view: Devices and Printers - Add to My Computer.
