Show Drive Letters First

When mapping drives on a WinXP system, the description of
the map is shown first and then the drive letter. On
older windows OS the drive letter was shown first. We
would like to have XP show the drive letter first and
then the map description or maybe not even show the
mapped path.
Is this possible and if so where do I go to change this.
(I tried Tweakui but it had no setting for this)
thanks
 
The latest version of TweakUI for Windows XP has an option
to make a change. Uninstall your current version of TweakUI,
install the new version, then open TweakUI, expand "My Computer"
and click on "Drive Letters".

The TweakUI that Nicholas refers to has a 'quirk' in the Drive Letters
selection. If the option to 'Show all drive letters before the label'
doesn't work correctly for you, try selecting 'Never show drive letters',
and see if that displays the drives the way you want.
