The "My Computer" special systems folder had a very
special display of its contents that was attractive and
organized the devices into clear labeled categories. This
has disappeared; now it dispalys like all other folders
with the usual choice of views.

How do I restore the special view?

Hi,

Right click on an empty area and point to 'arrange icons by' and check "Show
in groups"
