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

Instead of renaming the resource Manager as a File manager and renaming the user's familiar "Computer/My Computer" to "This computer," Windows 8.1 reconstructs the original layout, so the user finally sees the interface:

Windows 8.1 "This computer"

When we are accustomed to the layout of the interface a large change, the first reaction is often the change will be the original appearance. If you want to change "This computer" back to "computer/My Computer", it is very simple, click the "up" arrow to the left of the address bar to the "desktop", and then the right button "This computer" can be renamed. But if you're going to have all the storage devices that mix Windows 8.1 together as they were before, it's a bit of a hassle, and Microsoft doesn't offer the option to separate them, but we can do this indirectly by curve the way we save the nation.

Let's take a look at the effect of separating them, the optical drive, removable USB disk and local disks separate the area.

Display the storage devices separately

So how does this work? In fact, the principle is very simple, clever use of the Windows 8.1 grouping function. How to operate:

1, in "This Computer" window blank right button, grouped by--more;

Select a group basis

2. Check the "file system" in the open window and make sure to return.

Check "File System"

3, back to "This computer" window, again blank right--group BY, this choice just added the "File system", the order of random. When you are finished, you can see the various types of storage devices displayed separately.

Note: This grouping depends on the file system format of the storage device, and if the mobile storage device is in NTFS format (such as a removable hard disk or a large-capacity U disk), it will still be displayed with the local hard drive.

Although this method is not perfect, but at least let "this computer" looks similar to the past, if you are not comfortable with the new layout of Windows 8.1, you may want to change the first try.
