Virtual Drive Unmounting
-
I do recall being involved in that thread but was never able to get my display to look and operate like ‘guido’s’…gave up in the end.

Do you happen to use disk or registry cleaning software, moles42?
-
only program I do use from time to time is ccleaner.
but even that program I avoided using just to avoid it cleaning my recently used entries.
tried again earlier today but I can only get PA to display recently used archives…I can’t get it to display like guido’s start menu no matter what I try…:(
not to worry though…you never know a context menu option may be in the distant future…:D

moles42,
Hope this does something for you.

If you were to do a search for “virtual drive” or “unmount”, you’ll discover there are a lot of postings.
Indeed once of the enhancements would be to have the unmount feature as a context menu item.
Another one is to add an option to assign a fixed drive-letter, e.g. “X”, rather than having PA assign
the first available free letter.Right now, it takes the first available free letter, which in my case, is also my external backup.
So I need to mind that I need to unmount any VD before switching on the backup drive.I think the context menu thing is on the wishlist since somewhere mid this year.

I fixed mine. Right-click orb, click properties. On Start menu tab, in the lower privacy section, the lower box needs to be selected - that’s all you need to do for the extra taskbar and startmenu functionality - at least that’s all I did.

I’ve followed both steps…the ones posted by ‘infinum’ and your good self ‘drteeth’.
the lower box was actually ticked on my system so i’m hoping that after my reboot all will be well.I’ll report back later…many thanks to all…:)

not sure which one actually fixed it but at last I have had success…:)
thanks guys for the feedback it’s much appreciated.
