When I look to the properties of the stick I see as name 'TDK16GB' (that's the name I want).
In explorer though I see the stick as 'Fix it portable (F: )'. Even if I change the name by right-clicking - change name, explorer always shows 'Fix it portable' as the name.
Is it possible to change the explorer name?

It should be as easy as right clicking and choosing "rename". That solution works for me??

Found solution myself. The reason why the old name always comes back is that on that usb stick there is a file named 'autorun.inf'.
In that autorun.inf there is a line 'label=Fix it portable'. When you delete that line from autorun.inf the correct name of the stick is shown in explorer.
