rename a mapped drive

[cw]

Hi all

I am currently using

net use to map certain drives on my server across our network with the use
of a login.bat file

however I would like to be able to rename these mapped drives to something
more meaningful and cut out all the jargon on the end

for example

Archive on MAC os Server (192.168.0.2) (Z:)
Admin on MAC os Server (192.168.0.2) (Y:)

to

Archive (Z:)
Admin (Y:)

is there any way to do this using a batch file

Thanks
Craig

The display name is stored in the registry so it is possible to do, but
exactly where it is stored and what the format needs to be are OS
version dependent. A quick Google for _LabelFromReg or
_LabelFromDesktopINI should provide plenty of resources.
