Drive labels in Windows Explorer (not drive letter)

[Guest]

I have 3 disc drives. A CDRW, DVD-ROM and DVD-RW. In Windows Explorer, they are simply listed as "Compact Disc". How can I change this label to denote the acronym for each?

Open RegEdit and navigate to

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons

Here you need a key named for the drive letter you want to rename, and
another key subordinate to this key named DefaultLabel whose default value
is the text string that Windows is to display for that drive.

Let's assume you have a CDROM as drive "D" and a DVD player as drive "E".

Create a key named D subordinate to DriveIcons.
Create a key subordinate to D, named DefaultLabel. Assign DefaultLabel a
default value of "CD Reader".

Create a key named E subordinate to DriveIcons.
Create a key subordinate to E, named DefaultLabel. Assign DefaultLabel a
default value of "DVD Player".

Reboot.

Now drive D will be named "CD Reader" and drive E will be named "DVD
Player". Of course, when you have media inserted into either drive, it will
be named according to the internal name of the media.
