   Renaming "like a file or folder" does not work in Explorer.  It   
   retains its present E: (E) name.   
      
   From all the searches I did, only using Device Manager works for

   I have no idea about "Network share name" stuff.   
      
   I guess I'm just going to have to settle for E: (E) as the name of the   
   disk.
