Somewhere along the line (WINXP SP 2, if I recall), MS started putting the
drive letter at the end of a drive's description in windows explorer. There
is a registry fix to return to the most logical format of having the drive
letter first. It involves adding a REG_DWORD value “ShowDriveLettersFirst”
and then setting the value to 4. I've tried that in Vista, but it didn't
take.

Does anyone have a way to put the drive letter first in vista? While we're
at it, I'd just as soon have my old windows explorer display back to just
showing my C drive and its folders; I can find what I want from there without
having to trip over microsoft's cluttered display
