Windows 10: How to put drive letters before drive label?

I have Windows 10 Home. I want my drive letters to appear before the name of the drive. I tried:


HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer

ShowDriveLettersFirst DWORD

4 = Show all drive letters before drive label


I rebooted.


But it didn't work.


Is there another way that I can get Windows 10 Home to put drive letters before the name of the drive?

help. USB drive isn't assigned a drive letter.

Any usb flash drive I plug into my computer isn't assigned a drive letter. The physical drive shows in the "safely remove hardware" but it doesnt show up in disk management. I have tried to populate the volume thru the safely remove hardware properties window and it does pop up in the list but it doesn't stay there. This isn't a format or assign a letter problem. It's more complicated then that. Maybe one of the services needed for usb drive management was disabled? Suggestions needed. btw external usb harddrives work fine.
