When I go for Defrag, for all time I've been
accustomed to the various partitions on my
three hard drives being listed in order, with the
C-drive first in the list.
For some reason, they are now showing in a pretty
much random order. It ain't broke and I can live
with it this way, as I have every partition
labeled in identifiable manner. Any clues as to
why it changed, or how to make them sort by
drive letter?
