Paul, No, don't worry, I didn't take it anywhat negatively, - sorry if it sounded that way (when writing my response, I was tired and sleep-deprived after a very intense conference trip). I knew it was intended as an attempt to help.

For example, if I look at Windows Explorer for my main drive it lays "Local Disk (C:), which might infer that it's the volume name. However if I run "vol C:" from the command line it returns "Volume in drive C has no label" since I have not assigned a label to it. i.e. Drive C: has no volume name. -p On 11/8/2013 11:21 AM, Igor Roshchin wrote: > > I know what the volume name is for a drive is. > My question was about LR.
