[SOLVED] "Local Disk (D:)" now shows only as (D:) ?

[Viper008]

Hi. It seems that today, the usual Local Disk (D: ) in My Computer now shows only as [ (D: ). Where did the words "Local Disk" go? The other drives are fine. What does this mean to my D Drive?

[Note: I have had to put a SPACE between : and ), otherwise it shows it as smiley face in the text]

does it still show all your file?

Someone has renamed your drive to a SPACE (yes, this is perfectly possible). In order for a drive to show as Local Disk its name must be blank, not SPACE

'Local Drive' is Windows usage if there is no actual drive name, it's a default. If you rename the drive by using Any letter (space is a letter no different from period or alphabet or tab or comma) you'll lose the 'local drive' and get _ (D): etc.
