cant view usb removeable drives

[Roy]

On one system, I cannot see removeable USB drives, or SD card adapter, even
though I can go to a command line, and browse the virtual drive and copy to
it and from it.
The drives do not show up in any file explorer pages. I am assuming some
setting will fix this.
Any suggestions?

Hi, Roy.

What does Disk Management say about these drives? At the Run prompt, enter:
diskmgmt.msc

Strangely enough, it shows up correctly in the disk management list, but
still not in the file explorer. I also have the eject icon in the task bar,
so the system knows I have plugged it in.

Have you run TweakUI lately? In it there's a choice to hide drive
letters....

Thanks, checked that, drive letter not disabled, so the problem still eludes
me.
