However, that doesn’t mean you can’t configure Explorer to show drive letters preceding their labels. This is how you can set drive letters to appear before names by manually tweaking the registry and using a third-party tool.

How can I set drive letters to appear before their names in Windows 11?

1. Edit the registry and restart File Explorer

2. Use the Drive Letters Tool

On the Drive Letters Tool’s software description, it doesn’t appear that it works on Windows 11 but we have tested the app and, as you see, it works just fine. How useful this customization is for rearranging drive letters in Explorer may be debatable. It’s a matter of preference whether you prefer to have drive letters before or after their labels. Users who prefer to have drive letters before labels can easily rearrange them with both methods above. However, a third-party app offers users many more options for customizing Windows 11.
