Nope. What you see is what you get in this regard.

Ronnie,
Although part of what he says is true, you can add a name in front of
the drive like Sony D: or Pioneer D:
Go to Start, Right Click My Computer, Click Manage, Click Disk
Management, Right Click on the Disk you want to add name, Select
properties and you can add a name to the drive.

Ronnie,

See DefaultLabel part in this article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d.../shell_basics/shell_basics_extending/icon.asp

Example:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\explorer.exe\Drives\H\DefaultLabel

Set (default) to your preferred name. Where H is the CD-ROM drive-letter
