I suggest you try again. I renamed mine to 90 mm Diskette right after I installed XP. That's more characters than 90 mm Floppy.
You can't, of course, change the (A:) that follows the description. The capability is there because, with Windows 2000, ME and XP, they moved the description to the Registry, as a variable. With the older versions of Windows, it's a constant, buried somewhere in the Windows code.
