Hi, having a problem changing the label on mapped drives.
Currently I'm changing it by changing it in registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints\_LabelFromReg\Version
and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints\_LabelFromReg\Cache
it works nice, BUT I need to open up explorer!!
This makes it very difficult to change the drive label without either delaying the script, or continue the script without the change.
Anyone know a workaround?
Is it possible to create the registry records yourself?
Thx for all help ![[Smile]](images/icons/smile.gif)

Thx for the responses, but they don't solve my problem ![[Frown]](images/icons/frown.gif)
The registry entries are made only when you open up the explorer.
They don't exist before you actually opens up the explorer.
And since I have a similar function to the YAMD() (too bad I didn't see that one earlier ) the execution of the script stops where you try to update the label or skips it.

Hmm strange, tried your script here, but got no update.
Well I made a small script to fix the problem, well except one of he registry variables I don't know what value to use, so I used a the value that was in my registry.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints\I\_LabelFromReg\LastUpdate
It is a DWORD value, and I'm putting in 344290293.
Anyone know how to calculate the value I should use?
Hmm having problems pasting my code, HTML error??

code:
$rc=readvalue("$labelkey\$DriveLetter\_LabelFromReg","Cache")
if @error or $rc=""; or $timeout<5
$rc=readvalue("$labelkey","$DriveLetter")
if @error or $rc=""
$rc=addkey("$labelkey\$DriveLetter")
sleep(1)
endif
$rc=readvalue("$labelkey\$DriveLetter","_LabelFromReg")
if @error or $rc=""
$rc=addkey("$labelkey\$DriveLetter\_LabelFromReg")
sleep(1)
endif
endif
$rc=writevalue("$labelkey\$DriveLetter\_LabelFromReg","Version","3",REG_DWORD)
$rc=writevalue("$labelkey\$DriveLetter\_LabelFromReg","LastUpdate","344290293",REG_DWORD)
$rc=writevalue("$labelkey\$DriveLetter\_LabelFromReg","Cache","$hexlabel",REG_BINARY)
I made this code and it looks like it works, but I need the LastUpdated value calculated.
Any ideas
