Anybody knows how could I change the tag name of a DVD unit, labeled as:
"DVD-RW Unit (D:)" ? But I don't want to change the assigned letter, I want
to change the description,

thanks.

Save this a .REG file:


REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\X\DefaultLabel]
@="My DVD drive"



X is the drive letter. Modify the REG file and doubleclick it.

Thanks, Uwe, but please explain me a lot of better:

I think, I must create a new key. Until ...Explorer already exist. So,
must I create a new key under named DriveIcons, and so, create a new key
under called D, and so, create a new key called DefaultLabel, and then a new
ALFA value @="anything I want" , is it that right?

Thanks

Perfect.

When the key DefaultLablel is created you see a predefined
string value (default). That's what the '@' in a REG file
means. So, put the drive lable in the (default) value.
