Solved New User Account - No DVD Drives Visible

[smajero]

This is my first post - I just installed Win 7 with 1 Sata 3, 2 Sata 2 HDs, 2 IDE DVDs (one RW). Bios set to ACHI.

I can see all the drives in my account - administrator. When I set up accounts for the family - the IDE DVD drives do not show up under Computer. I tried changing the accounts to administrator but that didn't work.

Any thoughts? Everything works in my main account...

I found that my settings as administrator were not propagated through to all the new users. I had to go into each account and under folder options view; 1) Select Show hidden files, folders or drives, 2) uncheck Hide empty drives in the computer folder then 3) in the general, navigation pane select Show all folders.

All drives are visible now.
