   What you've renamed is the volume label of the file system in the drive.   
   This can be done from the "My Computer" in Windows Explorer. Select the   
   drive then rename it just like when renaming a file or folder. Other   
   alternative method for renaming a volume label is from the Command Prompt,   
   using the LABEL command. e.g.   
      
     label e: "Drive Name"   
      
   Network share name is an entirely separate name. It won't affect the file   
   system's volume label (or vice versa). It's merely an alias for the shared   
   folder when viewed remotely.
