To display drive-letters first, followed by the drive description, use these steps:

1. Click Start, Run and type Regedit.exe
2. Navigate to the following location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer
3. If not already exists, create a REG_DWORD value named ShowDriveLettersFirst
4. Double-click ShowDriveLettersFirst and set its Value data to 4
5. Exit the Registry Editor and restart.

Other possible data for ShowDriveLettersFirst registry value:

0 Show drive letters after description (default)
1 Show network drive letters before description, and local drive letters after
description.
2 No drive letter is displayed
4 Show drive letters before description
