Under the "this pc" I cant find my c:\, yet it still exists

Question

Under the "this pc" I can't find my c:\ yet it still exists. How can I make it show up under "this pc"?

It shows up here, and it says that it's in the "this pc":

When I go to "this pc" I can't find the c:\ drive:

I have gone onto regedit.msc and computer management. And all the things say that it is not hiding, however it is and I can't find it.

This is my disk manager:

also in my computer in edit group policy editor, I am missing "windows explorer"

Answer 1

Quoting Mr. Goo from Microsoft Answers:

I have had the same issue. None of my users drives were showing up. It came down to the registry key called NoDrives located at HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer.

When this key has a specific setting with will not show up in the open menu or the Explorer navigation screen. You will be able to type c: in the address bar and it will list the contents of the drive.

Here is the TechNet website with the information on the registry settings for this key.

You need to check and change this policy if needed. To do this, go into the settings/control panel and find the Group Policy Editor. (Alternatively, you can type gpedit.msc from the start menu and press enter) Next go to one of these here:

1. (User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\ Windows Explorer )

2. (User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\ File Explorer )

3. Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

In this section you will find a policty named NoDrives. This policy needs to be set to 0 to be able to see all drives in the Explorer. Afterwards, Windows will need to be restarted for this policy to be effective.

Answer 2

I have finally found the C:\ drive!!!!!!

What I had to do was go to Regedit and go Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ Explorer In there I changed the NoDrives key value to 0 Then restart my computer!

Thankyou to Natsu Kage for pointing me in the right direction. I will upvote u but it won't show up because my reputation is under 15.
