Windows Explorer: Change Drive Listing Descriptors

http://www.dx21.com/TIPS/ViewItem.asp?oid=207&OS=Microsoft+Windows+Vista&S=WinV

Description

By default, Widows Vista (and XP) will display the description of the local and network drives first, followed by the drive letter. You can reverse the order by making a change to the registry.


Navigate to the below key:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft \Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
Locate the DWord value:ToggleCommentPosition
Set the value to one of the following:
1 = the drive letter is displayed first for remote drives.
2 = the drive letters are not displayed.
4 = the drive letter is displayed first for all drives.
Close the Registry Editor.
Close and reopen the Windows Explorer. You may need to use the F5 key to refresh the display.
