My drive letter names are missing... Need them back. 1

[carbonates]

I am having some trouble finding the information on how to get my mapped drives and my local drive letters back. I have the location of the mapped network drives and the type of local drives (or name) but I can't seem to get the letters back. Any help would be, um, helpful.

What's happened to them?

Tweakui has functionality to hide (and unhide) drive letters in explorer/my computer - might be worth giving it a whirl -

Have you installed the "Mapped Drives Update" from MS updates?

I had downloaded TweakUI and been looking through the options and had turned the drive letters off. I rebooted and hadn't worked with TweakUi since. When I needed to get the drive letters back, I had forgoten how I had made them disappear in the first place. Thanks for the help.
