How to change the label of network drive that has been mapped?

I want to do that using a command.I know that the label of network drive is
just a registry value in WinXP,but not in Win2000.

Any one can help?

If you mean the disk label that shows in Explorer, you cannot change that
over a network; you must change it from the local computer the drive is in.
If you mean that you want to change the network share name, that must also
be done from the local computer, it cannot be changed over the network.
