Devices Not Showing up in 'My Computer'

[About49snails]

So today after turning on my pc i noticed something. When i open 'My Computer'...i see nothing. I am looking at nothing but white. Why? I don't know.

Just hours before i was able to see them but now i can't. I can still access them through Device Manager, They still have Drive letters assigned to them, i can see all the files inside of them. I just can't access it through 'My Computer' because there are no icons, drive letters..nothing. Just blank. I can't even see my Disc Drive.

I've looked online for some type of solution and have found nothing. Some people said to delete some file called 'DriverIcons' then restart my computer. nope. Didn't work. So now i'm here asking the question in hopes someone knows how to fix it.

All my Drivers are updated. All my Devices are hooked up. Everything is working fine. I Just cant see the links to any of them in 'My Computer'.

Why can't i see my devices in 'My Computer'?

I don't understand.

Actually, it might not work.
Options: try restoring the system to a previous date, or run Windows repair from an Windows install disk. See if working. For making the process easier while troubleshooting, you can use a file manager: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/five-apps/five-free-replacements-for-windows-explorer/?tag=content%3Bblog-list-river
