How to separate the USB flash drive from the Win8.1 device and drive

  
Windows 8.1 not only renames the resource manager to a file manager, but also renames the user & computer; my computer & rdquo; this computer & rdquo; At the same time, the original layout has been refactored, so the user finally sees such an interface:

Windows 8.1“This computer”
When we are used to the interface layout After the change, the first reaction is often the change will be the same. 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. .
First look at the effect of separating them, the optical drive, the removable U disk and the separate areas of the local disk.

Separate display of storage devices
So, how is this done? In fact, the principle is very simple, clever use of the grouping function of Windows 8.1. Specific operation method:
1, in the "this computer" window right-click, group by — — more;

Select group according to
2, in the window that opens Check “File System” and then confirm to return.







3, back to “ this computer & rdquo; window, right again blank right & mdash; & mdash; group by, this time select the newly added "file" 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 uses the NTFS format (such as a mobile hard disk or a large-capacity USB flash drive), it will still be displayed together with the local hard disk.
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.
