USB rename problem in win7


Recommended Posts

Did you rename the volume or something else?

Is this one of those drives that has built-in software?

The screenshot above is My Computer Window of Windows XP. FPO is my pendrive name. This name is now showing in XP but I want this name in both XP and Win7.

If your pendrive has got an "autorun.inf" file you may alternatively try to change its name by editing its content this way:

[autorun]

name=FPO

Re-rename it in Win7?

Yes. I renamed it both in XP and Win7. I tried also Properties>General tab to rename it. I used my Pendrive in four PC Installed Win7. No one shows my Pendrive name. I made an Autorun.inf file with text like bellow.

[Autorun]

label=FPO

icon=Logo.ico

It works perfectly both in XP and Win7. But I have to use my Pendrive in many PC. Sometimes virus changes this Autorun.inf file. So I vaccinated this pendrive with Panda USB Vaccine. Now I have no options to edit or make the Autorun file. So I need rename option only. I think Win7 delete renaming usb.
