Vista : Window Explorer - DVD/CD drive does not show

[percy]

Hi. I am using Vista 32bit and I noticed that the dvd/cd drive does not show on the right side of the window explorer window, only on the left side. is there a fix for this so that the dvd/cd will also show on the right side?
thanks. pix attached.

On the right hand side click the wee downward pointing arrow beside Devices with Removable Storage

You will find that the most simple things are over looked.

I thought that was rather obvious considering the cd/dvd drive isn't fixed media...

you are right. sometime we think of something technical but it's a simple a-b-c... 🙂

I couldn't tell you how many times I done that lol ... My favorite was when I spent a half hour trying to get a white spec off my monitor, only to realize that it was a glare from the window in my office lol ...
