File Manager Doesn t Update Volume Label Correctly

Last reviewed: May 13, 1997
Article ID: Q110341

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1

SYMPTOMS

File Manager doesn't update the title bar (which lists the volume label) of floppy disks properly when you switch disks.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

From the File Manager window, do the following:

Put a disk in drive A.
Double-click the drive A icon. Notice the title bar accurately reflects the volume label of the disk.
Close the window focused on drive A.
Remove the disk from drive A.
Put a different disk in drive A.

6 Double-click the drive A icon to open a new window for drive A

The title bar reflects the volume label of the disk that you had originally put in the drive, not the one that is currently in the drive.
