Hide network path displayed in mapped drive name

  • 772

Is there a way to hide the network path that is displayed by default in a mapped drive name?

We've got Windows 7 and XP machines and we're migrating from a fileserver to a SAN.

Currently in My Computer, the mapped network drives have the full label:

N (\\<servername) (N:)

Can we set something in Group Policy or in the mapping script (VBScript) that will set it to simply:

N:

or

N: (Mapped Drive)

or similar?

    There's no built-in functionality to do what you're looking for. Really, why does it matter anyway? Most users aren't going to care that the path to the "drive" changes, so long as they can get to what they need.
