How to rename or relabel a Network Drive label

Question

I am mounting a network drive to windows using WNetAddConnection2 which is working fine but while mounting the drive by default it assigns the name as Server IP and FolderNa

Answer 1

Not sure if there's an API for this but the strings are stored in the registry under:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints2

Find the correct subkey by parsing the keys there (it will probably look like "##172.24.17.116#NDSTestFolder" ) and change the _LabelFromReg value to whatever you like...
