1236884 2011-10-11 22:40:00 I recently downloaded to test an app, "Allway Sync 'n' Go". After setting up the app I noticed that the "C:" drive name had change to "Allway Sync 'n' Go" when viewed in "Computer".

I tried to rename the drive to "Main Drive" and this name-change shows in the Disk Management procedure as the name of the drive but the name "Allway......." still displays as the Computer C: drive name.

Is there any way of changing this to "Main Drive"?

Restart the computer and check the namr again.
