Default "My Computer" Screen

So when I used to open up my computer, it would look something like this , with the "Hard Disk Drives" and "Device With Removable Storage" categories. Well those categories went away, and now it just displays my drives and documents folders as icons or tiles like it would a normal folder of, say, mp3's. I like the category bars, but I can't figure out why the went away. Is there any way to get them back?

alright, you'll be done in seconds, just follow these directions:

Right-click on a white area on My Computer, and click Arrange Icons by: Type.

Better now?
