Hi, I'm going to present a Windows Vista feature (also XP and 2000) that I really miss in 7+:

  1. Start by dragging the Computer folder from the desktop (or if it's not there from start menu) to the edge of the screen, preferably top one.
  2. Right click  it and remove show title checkbox
  3. Decrease it's size
  4. Adjust it's features as you want: either select auto-hide or always on top

Aside from opening your partitions in file explorer the MyComputer bar allows you to hover over them to see available space and safely remove flash drives with right-click menu.

This functionality is not limited to the Computer folder, you can actually pin and use Control Panel and other folders the same way.
