    eSATA drive shows in This PC, not in Desktop


    My eSATA (external Hitachi) drive shows in This PC, when I open Windows Explorer, but does not appear in the list of Desktop items. if I turn the drive off and back on again, explorer finds it again. The drive is otherwise working properly.

    Is there some setting I am missing?

    Hello, DocDJ, welcome to the forums. Maybe I am misunderstanding your question. This PC should show all drives, but it should not appear on the Desktop or a Desktop Icon.

    You did misunderstand. In Windows Explorer, navigation panel (left column), the eSATA DRIVE does not appear under "Desktop", but the DRIVE does appear under ThisPC (again INSIDE Windows Exporer). Yes, it also appears inside ThisPC when I click on the "thisPC" icon on my desktop.
