Drive letters not appearing in My Computer

[Guest]

Hi. Any external drive I plug in (be it a flash drive or external hard drive)
is not shown under My Computer. However, when I go to save a file, say, in
Word, I see the drive right there and it works fine.

How can I get my drives to display under My Computer so that I can actually
explore them without using Word?

Thanks.
