My USB flash drive not showing in windows explorer now

[Bob H]

For some unknown reason all at once, my usb flash drive is no longer
showing in windows as another device like it used to.
It is shown in Device Manager, and is recocgnised by windows when I plug
it in, but I can't see it to get to the files.

Autorun is not enabled either, so where do I enable autorun.
Thanks

Possibility that somehow the flash drive letter has be told to not
show up in Explorer. Locate and install the TweakUI from the
Powertoys for XP. Then, you should be able to tell your XP which
drive letters to display in Explorer.

Thats what I ended up doing, and assigning a drive letter.
Thanks anyway
