drives name missing

[raamay]

Strangely when i open 'My Computer', i find the drive names like Local Disk (C:), Local Disk (D) ... missing for all the drives. Only the icon is present. Even the folder names for Shared Documents and Users Documents are missing. The problem is seen only when i open the my computer. Rest there is no problem inside the directories and everything is normal. I am using XP SP2.

How shuld i bring them back?

Strange case, do you have any idea what might have caused this? For instance, did you install something lately?
Also, try scanning your computer for spyware and viruses, it might be caused by something like that.

Hello,

Download TweakUI from Microsoft. Install it. Then start the TweakUI program.
You will see two panes: left pane and right pane. In left pane, look for options "drives" and "Special folders" under "My computer". Corresponding to these options, you will get names of all drives and many special folders (in right pane) that can be enabled/disabled. I suppose you can perform necessary steps after this to bring back your drives etc.
