No hard drive icons under My Computer

Both Hard Drive icons have mysteriously disappeared from My Computer...along
with the removeable media icons (memory sticks from camera).

However! I can still access the Hard Drives through IE...by typing in the
drive letter in the address bar.

I've been going nuts all day over this... 🙁

Do you by any chance have TweakUI (or some other interface tweaking program)
installed? You can "hide" the drives that way.

If not, perhaps installing it will let you "unhide" them.
