    Hi all,

    it seems to me that removable devices don't show their storage capacities in "My Computer" under Windows Vista. I know you can right-click and select "Properties" but I kinda like the easy overview. Does anyone know if this is set in stone or if I can customize it somewhere such that it shows?

    Thanks.

    Click on the "Views" tab a couple time. Decide which one you like best.

    cheers ...

    Hehe... I like the "Tiles" mode the most, but removable media don't seem to display their capacities like the hard drive does.
