Remove server names in mapped drives

[Kerplunk]

Does anyone know how on my domain I can remove the server name from the mapped drives?

i.e "testfolder$ on 'Server"

How can I make it so it just reads "testfolder$"

Edit: Without rightclicking - rename As I have to roll this out throughout the company

Cheers

If I remember rightly, I think you can do it in vbscript.

Edit: I found the script that I was thinking of.

' NameDrive.vbs
' VBScript to map a network drive.
' Authors Guy Thomas and Barry Maybury
' Version 1.4 - April 2005
' ----------------------------------------' 
' 
Option Explicit
Dim objNetwork, strDrive, objShell, objUNC
Dim strRemotePath, strDriveLetter, strNewName
' 
strDriveLetter = "W:" 
strRemotePath = "\\server\directory" 
strNewName = "Drive Name"

' Section to map the network drive
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network") 
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive strDriveLetter, strRemotePath 

' Section which actually (re)names the Mapped Drive
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
objShell.NameSpace(strDriveLetter).Self.Name = strNewName

WScript.Quit

' End of Example VBScript.

If you are deploying the mapped drive via Group Policy then this option should be present:

This changes the drive names from "Domain Share on \\ServerName" to "Domain Share".
