cannie Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) 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=FPOHTH Edited November 23, 2011 by cannie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kali Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 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=FPOicon=Logo.icoIt 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
