Drive Letters before Label

[Bigk]

I'd like to have the drive letters in explorer shown before the labels. I
have Tweakui installed and checked this there, but it does not change it. I
even found a reg fix at a respected site and it doesn't change it either.

Any idea how to fix this?

Drive letters

Drive letters
[[This allows specifying how the letters are displayed in “My Computer”.
The options are:

* Show all drive letters after the label
* Show all drive letters before the label
* Show network drive letters before the label and show local drive letters
after the label
* Never show drive letters ]]

However, TweakUI's option order is messed up...

Yeah, for some reason TweakUI isn't working, as I stated in my post. But thanks for trying. I just hacked it directly and when I restart I'll see if it works.
