I don't understand.  There is no "drives" for "my computer" whether I left-click it or right-click it.
Do you have to "allow" for future drives that you don't currently have?  I'm confused.  Thanks, AnnaSummers

Subject: Re: [PCBUILD] Sandisk flash drives, Dell computer

Using Tweak UI from Microsoft, check "my computer/drives" to make sure 
that there are enough drive designations allowed so that Windows can 
recognize the added drive. I had this problem once with a drive being 
indicated in all other respects except Windows Explorer not showing the 
drive.
