Some of my users that use Windows XP (Pro). That their
Drive mapping names are too long, especially when
browsing for files in applications. Example Windows XP
displays this drive as... Cells on 'GDI File Server
(gdis2)'(K:). Anyway of fixing throughout the office?

Yes, I hate that too!

Download the latest version of TweakUI and install it on all
computers. (I'm sure there is actually a registry modification you
could push out without TweakUI but I don't know what it is)

In TweakUI, under "My Computer" - Drive Letters section is exactly the
option you're looking for.
