My D: drive was originally named "Hard Drive D:", but now it was changed to "Project Cars 2 D:". My pc won't let me change the name back because I don't have administrative privileges on my own pc... I uninstalled anything that had to do with Project Cars 2, but it didn't change the name. What do I do??? It's nothing to serious, but it is rather aggravating.

Hi, turn on Show Hidden Files/Folders and delete the Autorun.inf file in the root of the drive (D:\ folder) if it exists, then reboot. [Source]

If that doesn't work, you could try running command prompt as admin and try the Label command with something like this: label d:\ MyCoolDrive
