When looking in My Computer the path name does not show up for each network drive, it just simply says "Network Drive". In all previous version of windows the drive was displayed as "X connect on someserver". I was wondering if there is an option to display the path as the drive label. I know I can rename the drive, but we have logon scripts that automatically map drives and it would be a pain to have each user manaully rename the drive.

Network drive name
Can you post screen-shot of what you are seeing ?

If you look on the WinXP.bmp, it displays the network path of the shared drive. This is not the case on the Vista version.
