Network drive name

Posted: 07-13-2006, 05:49 PM
When looking in My Computer the path name does not show up for each network
drive, it just simply says "Network Drive". In all previous version of
windows the drive was displayed as "X connect on someserver". I was
wondering if there is an option to display the path as the drive label. I
know I can rename the drive, but we have logon scripts that automatically
map drives and it would be a pain to have each user manaully rename the
drive.
