change disk labels

[Mike]

How do I change the label on the disks in My Computer.

For example: I want the C: drive to have the Computer name. Prefferable
not a fqdn. I want mapped network drives to have a specific name also.

from command line, use the "LABEL" command for fixed drives.

Hi

A VBScript that works for both local and network drives:

sDrive = "G:\" ' note the trailing backslash!
Set oShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
oShell.NameSpace(sDrive).Self.Name = "Some description here"
