I've not encountered issues naming drives going clear back into MS-DOS 5 with Win3.1 on it. It can be done in Properties of the drive or in Command Prompt.

I don't see that we have a shot of the SYSTEM, how about the shot of the security tab. It would be good to see what Administrators and SYSTEM permissions are. In a system that hasn't been tinkered with, Administrators and SYSTEM should have the full house except for Special Permissions.

He's showing the permissions on P:\. Only the Scott account has access, which is why things are wonky.

OK, all the other accounts are missing? I just looked, and you're right, I wonder how that happened? I've done no tinkering with the permissions on these drives, so something is rotten in Denmark on his system. :unsure:

Right, or someone went a little overboard locking down permissions.

Well, locking down SYSTEM and Administrators is probably a pretty bad idea. :lmao:

If you only changed permissions for the root-level folder:
Code: 
icacls P:\ /reset

If you changed permissions for all subfolders and their files:
Code: 
icacls P:\ /reset /t /c /l

So, if I add system back to the permissions, that should fix it?
Wont that mean other users on the PC can access the drive those? (its not a big deal if they can. Just trying to mininise data loss).

You can set changed permissions on created folders/subfolders in the drive, but you (user) shouldn't exclusively own a drive device.

The SYSTEM account isn’t an interactive user on Windows, or at least it never should be. Start with adding just SYSTEM back, and see what that gets you.
