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"?

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.

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.
