Try this... from http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;330193
To change the so that the drive letter comes first:
(A:) 3 1/2 Floppy
Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
Locate and then click the following subkey in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
Type ShowDriveLettersFirst, and then press ENTER.
On the Edit menu, click Modify.
Type 4, and then click OK.
Key: ShowDriveLettersFirst
Type: DWORD
Value: 1,2, or 4
If the value is 1, the drive letter is displayed first for remote drives.
If the value is 2, drive letters are not displayed.
If the value is 4, the drive letter is displayed first for all drives.

Subject: [THIN] I need a way to shorten the name displayed on mapped drives
We are changing from NT4 fat clients over to a 2003 desktop
In the past NT4 simply display the users home directory as H: in MS WORD open
file dialogue box
On the new Citrix 2003 server WORD now displays
[username on server H:] in the LOOK IN section of the file dialogue.
Does anyone know a way I can change this so that is only displays H:
I do love these microsoft 'features'
