Open regedit and nevigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer

In right-side pane, create a new DWORD value: ShowDriveLettersFirst
And change its value to 2 to disable drive letters.

PS: change the value to 4 to show drive letters first followed by drive labels.
