Windows Explorer displays the drive labels in the form of "Volume Name" and then "DRIVE:", for example Programs (D:). It adds the server name also if a networking is being used, which results in drive label not being displayed properly. With this setting, the drive letter is displayed first or at least, it should be visible to the user.
For this, you have to make changes in the registry. Go to "Start->Run" and enter "regedit" and click "OK". Search the key. Create the DWORD value "ShowDriveLettersFirst" in the right panel and double-click on it. Now, set the decimal data value and Replace the variable Pattern_Value with the data value, which has been listed here:
Pattern_Value | Description |
| 4 | To Display drive letters first |
| 1 | To Display drive letters first on the Network drives only |
| 2 | Never Display drive letters |
| 0 | Explorer Style (Default Setting) |
After restart or logoff, changes take effect.
These changes are applicable to All the users of this computer.
