Chances are you have one of the many organize/view settings set to sort the drives by free/used space, or drive size. Which is usually easy to spot in a screen shot.
Personally I have a standing request for all clients to send a SS of any and all error messages they get for an issue, as frequently the type of window will tell you more about an issue than the poorly worded error message. Not to mention that users never read the entire message, or pay attention to the caption bar text.
So Yeah...a picture really does paint - or save the exchange of - 1,000 words.

Thanks for the reply, Stoic Joker, and I agree that users often never read the entire msg but I'm afraid I've never found screenshots to be of much value when troubleshooting. And of course, to get a screenshot off a flawed O/S install is another challenge.
I might also refer you to my reply #5 on this thread, both above and below at this point and ask you that same question I asked Tomas.. screenshots and corrupt files? Not just on a different page but in a completely different book!
And I'm still looking for the option to sort the Navigation Pane. There are sort options all over the page but the one for the Nave Pane eludes me

If the shell loads, the shell loads...so the relevance of corrupt files dims considerably. Just because it's a TP doesn't alter the fact that it's a beta OS e.g. Hell it could have been delivered that way..
So, once the shell has loaded it is entirely up to the user to decide how what is going to be configured and displayed. so if by chance you got lucky with an accidental UI hotkey that borked the displayed drive order ... Hay IT happens.
I actually just went through an issue exactly like this a few weeks ago with a client that - even though they had a CS degree - thought that another vendor had torched their file system because none of the folders they had in their documents were there and files from another location were showing up merged and comingled with their "local" stuff.
They spent two day trying to sort this out, and then called me. had they sent an SS I could have told them on the phone what to do...but they just kept insisting on it being a major problem that restoring from backup hadn't fixed. However when I got onsite, it only took seconds to resolve the issue...But those seconds cost them $100...because I had to go onsite. You see their only issue was that the Arrange By option was set to name, instead of Folder ...(easily visible in an SS)... Which caused the shell to omit the existence of folders from the current view and just show the files (at the default library level) in one big disorganized lump.
So the shell was doing exactly what it was told to do ... It just wasn't what the user wanted.
The snipping tool has been built into Windows for a really long time now...so getting a screen shot isn't in the least bit hard. Hell I've had field techs send me pics of POST errors from their phones in the interest of getting something resolved (and it worked).
Not to mention that like many of us here on the board...Talking to me in person (professionally...) is really expensive ... So when free help is offered -- Damn it man go with the flow...
