3.) Why do I show the drive letter in front of the drive name?


By default, Windows shows drive letters after the drive labels or names in the folder "This PC", "Computer" or earlier known as My Computer. The user can prevent drive letters from being displayed using the folder options, but there is no option to display them before the drive name. For many users, placing drive letters before the drive label may be a more convenient option.

Here are the scripts to create yourself, if you don't want to download it!
