How to rename a Pendrive?


hp owner

Recommended Posts

My Transcend Pendrive named as ABCD show the Drive Name as Transcend JetFlash in Windows 7. I think is stored in Vendor Information.

My requirement is to Rename Transcend JetFlash as XYZ, whether it is possible, if so how?

I haven't done that in a very long time... so save the key you change.

Search Regedit for the exact name showing in device manager under HKLM CurrentControlSet

Change the one that says Friendly Name and see if that works for you.

Be prepared to change it back if it doesn't.

or do you mean just the drive name showing in explorer with the other drive... if so right click it and select properties... you can change the name there.

  • Download Transcend.rar (673 bytes only)
  • Extract the content Transcend.reg to any location on your HDD
  • Right click Transcend.reg to edit (using Notepad) and then change the drive letter F (2 instances) to the one which corresponds with your drive letter (for the pen drive, in question)
  • Change also the drive name Transcend (1 instance) to the drive name of your choice
  • After editing Transcend.reg - save the file
  • Run Transcend.reg - to import the entry into your registry by clicking Yes, for all ensuing prompts
  • If you found the Transcend.reg useful - store it to rename any drive in future
