Two different views of "My Computer"...?

[Kenneth]

Howdy,

I have two XP systems running on my desk side-by-side.

On each, I have clicked to display "My Computer."

On one system, a ton of information displays. The right pane
is divided into five sections divided by horizontal lines.
They are "Files Stored On This Computer", "Hard Disk
Drives", "Devices With Removable Storage", "Network Drives",
and "Other."

On the second machine, only one section appears, with
everything in a "heap."

Where is the setting that will allow machine 2 to display
"My Computer" in the multi-section view that I prefer?

Sincere thanks,

 

[Wesley Vogel]

Open both My Computers.

Click on View on the Menu bar on both and compare what's checked and what is
not:

Tiles

List

Click on View | Arrange Icons By and compare what's checked and what is not:
