All of a sudden XP decided to change the layout of the My Computer screen,
so that things are no longer arranged by type (eg local disks, removable
storage etc). This is only a minor issue but is really irritating me - does
anyone know how to change it back!?

Thanks,
Tom.
 
Right click somewhere in the right hand pane and select "arrange icons by"
then your choice.
 
Hi Tom,

When you're in My Computer, click on the "Type" title at the top
of the column, and that will change it back to the way you prefer. :-)
