Rick,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
Explorer
Value Name in the right hand pane called NoDrives.
If it is anything other that all 0s (zeros) than something is still
unchecked in TweakUI.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E980-E325
11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
i DO NOT SEE Upperlifters!!
Did you delete lowerfilters?
Did you reboot?
Was this key correct?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Flpydisk
ImagePath
REG_EXPAND_SZ
System32\DRIVERS\flpydisk.sys

Hope this helps. Let us know.
