How to: Change Volume Label

[durex]

I searched all around for this. First found a vbscript that did it, then finally came across a MUCH easier solution.

Sure enough theres an actual native Windows utility that does this for you, appropriately called 'label.exe'. The syntax is as follows

label <drive letter> <label name>

IE:

label c: system

Hope someone else can use this as well.

good heads-up! Knew of it, but did not use it till now, so now I will use it.

This is old-school DOS executables.. Something that makes me feel happy...

Just wanted to mention that using the %SystemDrive% variable with label makes the drive designation dynamic instead of a static "C:" (for all you non-C installing guys & gals out there).

The %SystemDrive% variable is disclosed in the following post. Furthermore, you can type 'SET' in a command prompt - this returns all currently set variables.

Use this line in a .cmd file of your choice:

LABEL %SystemDrive% System

While we're at it, I found out that if you don't specify a drive, it will use the current drive (the drive of the directory you're currently in with DOS).
