Look in the Windows Registry for possible values named "NoDrives" or
"HideDrives". Go to Start\Run\type: "regedit" (no quotes) and hit Enter.

Look for the DWORD values in both the Current User and Local Machine hives.
And delete them if they are present.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explore
r\NoDrives

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explor
er\HideDrives

If you do find any or both registry policies, check the Run keys and delete
suspicious unrecognizable values: Start\Run\regedit\ and path to follow on
registry hives:
HKEY_(Local_Machine|Current_user|Users)\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVe
rsion\Run

Also scan the system with antivirus, antispyware and antitrojan programs
because there's a possibility your computer may be infected with a malware
or virus that may have enabled this and other policies that restrict your
administrator account.

Install Adaware SE Personal, Spybot Search & Destroy, CWShredder, and The
Cleaner.
