Drive Labels

Ace1627 · 12-30-2004, 07:03 AM

Originally I had 4 flash reader drives in my computer. I named them SD, SM, CF, and MS. Well, I changed some cords in my computer and next time I turned it on my dvd burner was labeled CF and my cd burner was labed SM. How do I change it back, and/or how can I create my own labels for the cd rom drives? Thanks.

right click My Computer > click Manage

then click on 'Disk Management' in the left window pane. You can change you drive letters from here.

I didn't ask about drive letters. I want to change the drive labels.

Changing Drive Labels in Explorer (Windows2000 and XP)

Added 9/14/01

Normally the Explorer shows drive labels as "Compact Disk", "Removable Disk" ect.

To change the name of this label for specific drives:

1. Start Regedit
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / Microsoft / Windows / CurrentVersion / Explorer
3. Create a key called DriveIcons
4. Within DriveIcons, create another key with the drive letter you want to change (..\DriveIcons\K)
5. Create another within the drive letter key called DefaultLabel
6. Give the Default Value for this key the label you want to appear for that drive letter. (Jazz Drive etc.)
7. Restart the computer
