Original Look Is Gone...

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize (More info?)

Whenever I first used Windows XP, under "My Computer" had a "cartoony" look
to it. It showed the shared folders at the top, hard drive in the middle, and
other drives on the bottom. It was all labled. Now it views them as icons. I
tried to find the original look under views, but it just displays it like
standard folders - tile, icons, list, etc. It wasn't switched to classic
view, I already checked. Does anyone know how to restore the original look to
"My Computer"?
