How to display U disk separately from Win8.1 device and drive

Windows 8.1 not only renames the resource manager to a file manager, but also renames the user's familiar "computer/my computer" to this computer” and refactors the original layout. So the user finally sees such an interface:
Windows 8.1“This computer”

When the interface layout we are used to changes greatly, the first reaction is often changed. Look like that. If you want to change "this computer" back to "Computer/My Computer", it's very simple. Click on the "Up" button on the left side of the address bar to go to "Desktop". Then right click on this computer & rdquo; rename it. But if all the storage devices you plan to mix Windows 8.1 are displayed separately as before, it's a bit of a hassle. Microsoft doesn't offer the option to separate them. Fortunately, we can indirectly achieve this by saving the country by curve. .

Let's take a look at the effect of separating them, the optical drive, the removable U disk and the separate areas of the local disk.
Separate storage devices

So, how is this done? In fact, the principle is very simple, clever use of the Windows 8.1 grouping function. Specific operation method:

1. In the “this computer” window, right click, group according to —— more;
select group basis

2, open In the window, check "File System" and confirm the return.
Check "“File System"

3. Go back to “This computer” window, right click again —— group by, this time select the file you just added System & rdquo;, the order is random. When you are done, you can see that the various storage devices are displayed separately.

Note: This grouping method depends on the file system format of the storage device. If the mobile storage device is in NTFS format (such as mobile hard disk or large-capacity USB flash drive), it will still be merged with the local hard disk. Show together.

Although this method is not perfect, but at least let this "this computer" looks like the same as before, if you can not adapt to the new layout structure of Windows 8.1, you may wish to change it first .
