What you asked for is called "tiles" under the 'View' menu.
For the second question: In the Control Panel - Folder Options - View Tab, do your have a check mark in the box "Remember each folder's view settings"?

well you fixed the last problem, but as to the first one, its not just
the size of the icons that annoys me, its the fact that it doens't have
the whole "Hard disk Drives" & "Devices With Remobable Storage".

Then your initial question was not complete.
How were we supposed to know how many drives you have attached when you took that snap shot?
Do more drives show up in "Disk Management"?

i don't have any more drives then the ones visible in the screenshot.. i
do not want more drives, i don't want to partition my hard drive(even
thou there is two drives in the second screenshot), i just want my
computer to clasify my hard drive and my dvd drive into seperate
categories..

Click on the drop-down box at the right hand side of the "Type" column
header and click on the "Group" icon.
And PLEASE quote the post you are replying to.
Thank you.

If you don't quote the original problem you are referring too, and don't
take the time and energy to describe your own problem, you are not likely to
obtain assistance anywhere.

Amen to that Richard. There seems to be a lot of "me too" posts lately.
If they don't quote the original post I just forget them.
