Windows XP and Tweak UI

Change How Driver Letters are Displayed

SUMMARY: Change how Explorer in Windows XP displays drive names.
 
Normally, when accessing "My Computer", Windows XP shows drive letters after the drive's label, such as SYSTEM_SAV (D:). However, if you'd rather see the drive letter before the label, or if you'd rather hide drive letters altogether and only rely on a drive's label, you can make the change:

1. Download and run Tweak UI for Windows XP.

2. When the "Tweak UI" window appears, click "My Computer" to expand the menu.

3. Click "Drive Letters".

4. Choose from one of the four options: Show all drive letters after the label, Show all drive letters before the label, Show network driver letters before the label and show local drive letters after the label, or Never show drive letters.

5. Click "OK" to close the dialog box.
