Not long ago, I wanted to rename a hard disk partition of Windows 7, but a prompt box with the information of \u201cYou will need to provide administrator permission to rename this drive. \u201d popped up, as the following screenshot exhibits. Now, I know how to use Registry Editor to rename any hard disk partition in Windows 7<\/strong> <\/a>without offering administrator permission. Let me show you how to rename the Local Disk (E:) into Available Information (E:).<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry if you do not find DriveIcons in the Registry Editor of your PC, because you can create one by yourself.

Later, you can right click the key and select Rename<\/strong> to name it as DriveIcons.<\/p>\n
