    Start/Computer Shows Each Disk in a Flyout.


    On one of my machines, Clicking on Start/Computer shows each disk (partition) as a flyout rather than in a window that shows each disk in a graphic form like happens when I right click on a disk and then choose open. I am using the Windows Classic theme from Personalization. My laptop, the other machine, shows the disk in the window just like I currently want it to.

    Years ago I remember how I made the change to Start/Computer but can't for the life of me remember how I did it. Can someone please remind me how to get it back?

    Thank you very much.

    Right click on the taskbar and chose properties
    Go to the Start Menu tab then chose Customize
    Chose 1 of the settings
    OK your way out
