Silly question here, but I can't figure it out
When I originally installed XP the "My Computer" disply in Explorer seemed to be divided into three sections
"Files Stored on this Computer" - "Hard Disk Drives" - and "Devices with Removable Storage" all divided neatly by horizontal lines
Now the display is simply a series of icons arranged in rows and columns
I've clicked on pretty much everyhting I can find in "Folder Options" - any idea how I get back to the origianl display?
Thank
 
You had it in Icon View, now you have it in list view. Check the tool button
on your toolbar

And if it isn't that then Click view and arrow over "Arrange Icons by..."
the next menu make sure "Show in Groups" has a check mark next to it.

In its View, Arrange by click on 'Show in Groups' to check it
