I noticed once I installed CCleaner on one of my PC's my mapped network drives
changed the way the show in Windows Explorer

EXAMPLE :

Before CCleaner Install :
store on 'MES-File' (S:)

After CCleaner Install :
store on 'File Server (MES-File)' (S:)

why did it add "file server" to the drive name - - how can I change it back ???

I tried to uninstall CCleaner, but it did not change it back

Any suggestions on how I can get it back to the old way ????

Does this happen to anyone else ?? IF SO, what did you do ???

Found a work around ....

Put an entry in REGEDIT that will put the Drive Letters First - then the description.

(A:) Disk Drive
(C:) Hard Drive
(D:) CD Drive
(G:) Network Drive
(U:) USB Drive

everyone seems to like better ....
