In Explorer View Options View [x] Hide empty drives I always thought that switch was for hiding drives with no data on them. You know, as in "Empty recycle bin". Regardless of whether that is true or not... Ever since that switch was available, I have had it unchecked. After Paul's reply, I simply plugged in a USB flash drive which appeared as drive G, clearly answering my question. The drives I mentioned "USB Drive (E" and "USB Drive (F" have disappeared. Do not know where they came from or where they went. Do not need to know. Wherever they are, they are doing just fine. |

A "Photo" inkjet printer with USB cable, some of those have a card reader slot on the front of the printer, for printing pictures from a digital camera. And such a card reader could show up in File Explorer. Paul |

Â*Â* Paul 1+ Card readers drive me nuts with all the drive letter they grab. And they don't require anything in the drive either. |

I assign them letters W thru Z so they're always on the bottom of list in Explorer. Mind you I assign every drive/device it's own unique drive letter I also leave memory cards in every slot so there's "something" in them. I even occassionally use them over a thumbdrive for quick copies to pc being worked on etc. I really don't have the luxury of renaming them as the customers are use to seeing them in particular drives. |
