Why would you want this? Where or what would you be accessing?

Why would you want this? Where or what would you be accessing?

let me explain again.

normally when you open my computer, your hard drives would be listed say c: d: and e:, but now for some unexplained reason they don't show there just the cd rom.

what i was asking if any one have encountered this issue before ?

the odd thing is that i can access them in this manner (which means they are detected by windows), start -> run -> explorer -> enter; from there type c:\ in the address bar and press enter again.

If I am correct it might a virus called the fatoos C or some new version of it. If it is Fatoos then your task manager is probably also disabled. I had some problem with this and with varied results been able to fix it. Usually with some kind of registry fixing software like regsweep / regcure etc. Some machines though refuse to have the problem fixed like this! Try this registry fix

Just for interests sake, you can also use Tweak Ui to hide/unhide drives in My computer and explorer.
