OK, I have a problem I've never seen before.

Ever since I built my computer I've named (labeled) my C: drive C-
Drive and my D: drive D-Drive. I've followed this convention for years
and years.

I bought new USB drives recently, and named those drives USB-01 and
USB-02.

When I rebooted my system, My Computer/Explorer now displayed the D:
drive as USB-01. I can't seem to get it to change, even though
Properties shows the label as still D-Drive, Disk Management still
shows it as D-Drive. Only My Computer displays the wrong name. I've
renamed it several times with no effect.

Any idea what's wrong with My Computer?

/i have another language location so i may use different "expressions" /

click Start-Programs-Accesories-Admin. tools: click on the computer icon-
"PC Administration" It opens window, find there something like "Storage" and
Disk Administration. It will show in the lower menu on the right side Hard
disks, cd/dvdROMs, USBs/ must be connected/. Right click opens menu, there
you find
-Change letter and path...-

I think you are referring to Disk Management, which is the first
location I checked. Everywhere I could find to access the volume name
of the disk it was correct. The ONLY place it is incorrect is My
Computer/Windows Explorer.
