I have my Local Drives C: and E: interchanged on clicking refresh button after opening "My Computer." HELP!!?

Question

There is no problem as such in the performance of my laptop. However, whenever i open 'My Computer' and press the refesh button on the toolbar (i have a nagging habit of doing it every time, pardon me) my local hard drives C and E flips, or so to say, exchange their positions. This happens after the screen goes momentarily blank (not the common task in the left pane but only the right one having my documents and storage drives). I have my DVD/CD RW drive named as D while the two partitioned hard disc drives named as C and E respectively. Though not a critical problem, it keeps bothering me always. Kindly advise

Answer 1

This is often the case, refresh may sort by the name rather than the letter of the drive.

Answer 2

If you are using Windows XP then changing the drive letter in windows xp is very simple. For a step by step picture tutorial see this website..

Answer 3

i think your drives are sort by size....so sort drive by name rather than size  

Answer 4

try cleaning up the registry. Else try PC SpeedScan Pro . It helps in cleaning up the problems and makes the system faster. I think this might help you out. Just try it out in case it resolves this issue.
