Category Titles when opening "My Computer"

OK, I don't know what happened or what I did to make it happen, but NOW when I double click on "My Computer" the "category titles" are no longer present.

Files Stored On This Computer - GONE
Hard Disk Drives- GONE
Devices With Removable Storage - GONE
Network Drives - GONE
Scanners, Printers, Cameras- GONE

It basically looks like the "List" View. The devices are listed OK, it's just that bold header/title that is gone. If I switch back to any other view, Thumbnails, Tiles, Icons, Details, it shows the devices OK, but, AGAIN, NO titles...

I've looked in the "DelegateFolders" registry settings and the key for "Files Stored On This Computer" is there, but it still doesn't show up, along with all the others that are now gone...

If anybody could give me an explanation for this, I will be ETERNALLY grateful!

Open My Computer, right click on blank space, select "Arrange Icons By Type" and select " Show In Groups".

Big ups to this, I came on here with the exact same problem. I think this gets unchecked sometimes if explorer crashes. Glad I decided to search for this first. Not like bumping a 7 month old post is any better
