USB drives not recognized in "My Computer"

Fiesta

This problem just developed.

USB drives such as flash and Western Digital Passport are no longer

recognized in "My Computer".

However they are recognized under Hardware Devices and by my Disk Management

program.

Please help. Thank you.

And do they have a letter in Disk Management? Maybe you assigned the

same letter to a network drive?

No Bob. The drive letter is unique, local and still the same as it was when

"My Computer" once recognized it.

if that letter is missing in My Computer, go to Microsoft Downloads and

Power toys and get TweakUI. Use that to UNhide the drive letter.

Yes they have been formatted and partitioned. And, incidentally, they work

fine on my wife's laptop.
