No Drives Displayed in "Computer"

Hi all!

Just upgraded to Windows 7 today and have been totally loving it! Its so much faster than Vista.

I just have one major problem that has been bothering me. I dont know whether its a bug or just a noob mistake on my part but I am unable to see any drives whatsoever in the "computer" folder. I have tried disabling/enabling the "Show empty drives" thing but to no avail.

It would be great if someone could help me out with this issue.

ThankS!!!

Thanks!

Well, my partitions already have drive letters allocated to them.

I am posting a screenie below:

Have included my folder settings as well in the screen shot.

Thanks alot!!

Is it your optical drives that are not showing. I remember there was a bug with iTunes that caused this. Have you got iTunes installed?

@John: Sure thing. This is what you mean right?

@Hedrush: Yes, as a matter of fact, I do have itunes installed. But its not just my optical drives that are not showing, none of my HDD partitions are visible. They are accessible when I directly enter c: etc into the address bar but nothing is seen in the "Computer" folder.

Thanks!

Make a reg backup first.

Try this open reg edit and goto ......

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}]
"UpperFilters"=-
"LowerFilters"=-

Delete upperfilters and lowerfilters. I didnt have lowerfilters on my machine, but deleting the upperfilters worked a treat. It brought back my optical drives anyway.
