I am using VISTA business SP1 on Dell Latitude D520.

I just joined a new Domain in my company network.

After this recent join, I am not able to find my boot system drive C in explorer or my computer. However, when I write C:\ and press enter, It displays.

Has anyone any idea how to be able to display it by default?
 
Are there Group Policies coming down from the Domain Server that are hiding drives?

Local Computer Policy/ User Configuration/ Administrative Templates/ Windows Components/ Windows Explorer, see what it says about hiding drives.



These are other things that have been used in the past.




Hiding Drives.

New drive or mapped network drive not available in Windows Explorer

Hard disk does not appear in My Computer or in Windows Explorer


Some third party programs may hide drives too.
 
Many thanks for your support.
