Windows (XP) Registry Hack

[Operandi]

So my Regedit favorites got cleared and I can't find the key that holds the information for specific drive icons and titles.

I tried searching the registry several times as well as Google but no luck.

Thanks but I'm actually looking more for the abality to change the title of my optical drives.

For example I had my Plextor drives labeled as their model number vs. generic "DVD-RW Drive" and my card reader to something more descriptive vs. "Removable disk".

I think if you right click on My Computer, then click Manage and go to Disk Management you can do all of your changes there.

No, it's definitely a reg hack; adding a key somewhere but I don't remember where exactly or what they key is titled.
