Aye, I've tried that, but the groups it uses are alphabetical... so for
example I'll have " A | Floppy Drive (A:) / C | Local Disk (C:) / D | CD-ROM
(D:)" etc. I'm looking to return the display to the way it used to be -
doing this keeps the same organization structure but just doubles the length
of the display due to the lines denoting which letter identifies the entries
below.
